Dear  Friend  Eibschutz: 

Hearty  congratulations  upon  your  growth. 
I  am  sure  you  will  grow  as  large  as  you  wish. 

Personally,  as  you  know,  I  advise  against 
too  great  or  rapid  a  growth,  in  your  line  of  business. 
A  printing  press  is  merely  junk,  unless  it  has  a  Soul. 
There  are  many  dead  printing  presses  in  New  York. 

You  are  the  Soul  of  your  Press.  Never 
permit  your  business  to  grow  beyond  the  point,  where  you 
cannot  handle  it  personally  and  give  your  customers  your 
Personal  Service. 

Thus  far,  you  have  succeeded  solely,  because 
you  have  given  your  customers  your  Personal  Service.  You 
have  been  in  earnest.    Your  mistakes  have  been  forgiven, 
because  nobody  ever  thought  them  due  to  carelessness.  Your 
customers  realize,  that  such  mistakes  as  you  have  made, 
have  been  made  in  your  earnest  desire  to  give  swift  service 
You  have  been  over-zealous,  not  careless. 

I  do  not  have  to  wish  you  prosperity.    So  long  as 
you  continue  on  your  present  course,  you  will  be  unable  to 
dodge  it. 

Sincerely  yours, 

WFP/JF

Be  sure  to  allow  a  sufficient  amount 
for  postage  or  express  charges,  if  the 
amount  of  your  purchase  does  not  en- 
title you  to  any  of  the  above  delivery 
conditions. 

Bear  in  mind  that  we  do  NOT  pay 
freight  on  furniture,  refrigerators,  sew- 
ing machines,  china,  groceries,  clocks, 
toys  and  trunks  that  may  be  called 
heavy  or  bulky,  beyond  our  free  de- 
livery limit  allowed  on  $5  purchases. 
We  do  not  pay  cartage  when  goods  are 
sent  by  freight. 

One  price  to  all  is  our  invariable  rule. 

All  orders  to  go  by  mail  or  freight 
must  be  accompanied  by  remittance  of 
entire  amount  of  money. 

How  to  Forward  Money. 

If  you  order  merchandise  by  mail 
it  is  better  to  send  too  much  money 
than  too  little.  All  in  excess  of  the 
price  of  the  merchandise  is  returned 
with  the  bill.  This  saves  delay  in  ship- 
ment, because  if  an  insufficient  amount 
of  money  is  sent,  time  is  lost  in  waiting 
for  the  balance  of  the  amount  due  be- 
fore the  goods  can  be  shipped. 

BLOOMINGDALES,  Lexington  to  3rd 


Do  not  send  money  by  open  mail.  If 
it  is  sent  that  way  and  lost,  there  is 
no  chance  of  recovery,  and  it  causes 
but  little  trouble  or  delay  to  secure 
post-office  money  orders,  bank  drafts 
or  express  money  orders. 

If  you  live  on  a  rural  mail  route  give 
your  letter  and  money  to  the  carrier. 
He  will  get  a  money  order,  put  it  in 
your  letter,  and  mail  it  to  us  for  you. 

If,  however,  you  feel  so  disposed  you 
may,  instead  of  buying  a  money  order 
or  bank  draft,  send  your  letter  enclos- 
ing the  money  by  registered  mail.  We 
advise  you  to  permit  us  to  insure  your 
mail.  The  cost  is  small,  and  the  guar- 
antee against  loss  absolute. 

Always  send  money  for  postage  or 
express,  unless  you  are  taking  advan- 
tage of  our  free  delivery  offer. 

Mail  Insurance  Costs. 

Parcels  by  open  mail,  valued  at  $15 

or  less,  each  parcel  5c 

Parcels  by  open  mail,  valued  at  $15 

to  $30,  each  parcel  10c 

Parcels  by  registered  mail,  valued 

at  $30  to  $50,  each  parcel  5c 

Of  course,  if  you  desire  a  packags 
registered  and  insured,  you  must  remit 
sufficient  to  cover  the  cost  of  registra- 
tion in  addition  to  cost  of  insurance. 

You  understand  that  four  pounds  is 
the  limit  of  weight  of  parcels  handled 
by  the  Post  Office,  and  then  only  when 
they  are  small  and  compact. 

Such  goods,  as  clothing,  shoes,  mil- 
linery and  so  on  (articles  making  a 
larger  package)  are  usually  sent  by  ex- 
press, while  freight  is  the  method  of 
transportation  employed  for  the  heavier 
classes  of  goods,  such  as  house  furnish- 
ing articles,  pictures,  etc.  That  is  the 
least  expensive  method. 

In  Ordering  Goods. 

Use  your  own  method — that  is,  tell  us 
in  your  own  words  just  what  you  want. 

When  ordering,  sign  your  name  in 
full,  and  tell  us  plainly  where  you  want 
the  goods  shipped.

system.  These  machines  are  built  by  one  of  the  largest  and  oldest

Electrical  household  helps  abound.  Attached  to  the  socket  of  a  fixture

served  by  electrical  current.  The  chafing  dishes  and  other  helpful  ar- 
ticles are  useful  far  beyond  their  cost.  You  will  be  interested  in  our

avoid  the  worry  and  trouble  usually 
incident  to  banking.  Letters  of  credit 
are  issued  to  travelers.  Foreign

annual  floral

the  overflowing  greenhouses  on  the 
roof.  That  this  is  a  florist  shop 
of  the  first  rank  is  apparent  at  a 
glance.  Heavy  plate  glass  show 
cases  are  lit  up  by  interior  incan- 
descent lights.  The  beautiful  cut 
flowers  they  contain  are  kept  fra- 
grant and  unsullied  by  currents  of

The  only  difference  between  exclusive  florists  and  Bloomingdales  is  in 
prices,  the  Bloomingdale  Flower  Shop  duplicating  the  best  work  of  the 
best  florists  at  fully  50  per  cent.  less. 

Leave  the  Flower  Shop  by  the  rear  exit  and  walk  across  to  the  Accom-

extensively  this  season,  and  promises  to  make  greater

Rloomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


A  splendid  showing  of  all  kinds  and  styles  of  wash  Ribbons  for 
lingerie  will  be  found  here. 

We  are  constantly  in  touch  with  the  foreign  markets  and  all  new 
ideas  are  shown  here  first,  in  the  city. 

Immediately  adjoining  the  Ribbons  is  a  very  large  section  devoted 
to  the 

HANDKERCHIEFS.  A  careful  inspection  of  this  Department  will 

delight  the  heart  and  please  the  eye  of  the  con- 
noisseur in  the  dainty  and  pretty  mouchoirs  that  Milady  affects. 

Here  is  shown  everything  in  the  way  of  handkerchiefs,  from  the 
humble  bandana  to  the  daintiest  creation  of  lace  and  embroidery. 

For  men — all  styles  of  plain  and  initialed  handkerchiefs,  all  the  new 
cross-bar  effects,  and  all  the  novelties  in  colored  handkerchiefs,  as  well 
as  a  very  large  assortment  of  silks. 

For  women — everything,  from  plain  hemstitched  handkerchiefs  to 
dainty  creations  of  real  lace,  and  Alpensahl  and  Madeira  Embroidery, 
with  all  the  intermediate  grades. 

Here  will  be  found  the  new  crepe-de-chine  and  China  Silk  handker- 
chiefs, which  are  now  so  much  in  vogue,  as  well  as  the  plain  and  em- 
broidered glove  handkerchief. 

For  boys  and  girls — we  have  a  full  assortment  of  ail  kinds  of  hand- 
kerchiefs for  these  important  members  of  the  family. 

Making  our  own  importations  and  being  constantly  in  the  foreign 
markets  enables  us  to  offer  styles  that  are  as  new  and  desirable  as  they 
are  low  in  price. 

Turn  from  the  Handkerchiefs  to  the  spacious  Department  of 

WOMEN'S  Here   is  a  wonderful   showing  of   the  very  latest 

NECKWEAR.  American  and  European  styles,  including  all  of  the 
new  marabout  and  ostrich  feather  novelties,  and  a 
special  collection  of  scarfs  and  shawls  of  crepe-de-chine  and  real  lace, 
in  black  and  white.  The  section  devoted  to  guimpes  is  most  compre- 
hensive, and  includes  many  original  models  from  abroad.  The  Depart- 
ment is  rounded  out  by  almost  numberless  styles  in  Vestees,  Plauen 
collar  and  cuff  sets,  real  lace  neckwear,  rufflings  and  pleatings  in  Oriental 
effects,  and  linen  collars  and  cuffs. 

This  Department,  perhaps  to  as  large  an  extent  as  any  in  the  store, 
illustrates  the  manner  in  which  Bloomingdales  spares  no  effort  or  expense 
to  keep  abreast  of  the  fashion  of  the  moment. 

Novelties  are  seen  here  as  soon  as  anywhere  in  New  York — and  not 
seldom  sooner — for  our  expert  is  ever  on  the  watch  to  provide  for  and 
even  anticipate  Milady's  whims  in  smart  neckwear. 

Immediately  across  the  way  are  the  broad  counters  given  up  to  the

A  few  words  about  BEADED  BAGS.  Probably  90<£  of  all  the  Beaded 
Bags  sold  all  over  the  world  come  from  a  mountain  district  of  Saxony, 
not  over  ten  miles  in  area  -  thev  are  not  made  in  a  factory,  but  in  houses, 
and  the  industrv  is  confined  to  manv  small  producers,  each  making  a 
certain  stvlp  and  coloring;  and  from  these  our  buyer  makes  a  selection, 
purchasing  them  in  vast  assortments.  That  is  the  reason  why  we  can 
make  decisive  savings  on  every  beaded  bag  we  sell.  The  prices  are 
$1.00,  $1.50,  $1.95,  $2.50,  $2.95  up  to  $25.00.

heart  of  every  woman — that  of  the 

VEILINGS,      ruchings,  etc.   This  section  is  a  veritable  fairyland  of  dainty 
novelties,  reflecting  the  latest  dictates  of  fashion.    Kept  in 
constant  and  close  touch  with  the  foreign  fashion  centers,  this  department 
shows  always  a  wonderful  assortment  of  the  latest  effects. 

Deserving  of  special  mention  are  the  "crackle"  and  "mysterious" 
meshes,  the  "Mona  Lisa"  triangle-shaped  veils,  the  new  slant  meshes,  and 
the  popular  hairline  meshes. 

Together  with  the  dotted  veilings,  chiffon  veils  and  veilings,  are  shown 
a  collection  of  very  chic  auto  caps,  hats,  and  veils.  Mourning  veils  and 
veilings  form  a  special  section. 

A  mezzanine  floor  to  the  left  is  devoted  to  the  Department  of 


25 


Bloomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


SURGICAL  and  sick-room  comforts.    Many  of  New  York's  leading 

INSTRUMENTS  physicians  and  surgeons  are  numbered  among  the 
patrons  of  this  department.  As  manufacturers  and 
importers,  Bloomindales'  prices  are  approximately  50  per  cent,  less  than 
those  fixed  by  retail  dealers.  Everything  modern  science  has  produced 
for  the  relief  and  comfort  of  the  sick  may  be  bought  in  this  store  of 
many  wonders. 

As  90%  of  all  surgical  instruments  are  made  abroad,  we  send  our 
buyer  to  Europe  periodically  to  test  and  import  the  very  best  obtainable. 

Comprehensive  stocks  are  carried  here  of  dressings,  sutures,  rubber 
goods,  glassware,  steel  porcelain  ware,  surgical  bags,  sterilizers,  maternity 
outfits,  gowns  and  coats,  elastic  hosiery,  invalid  accessories,  etc.  We 
specialize,  too,  in  the  repairing  of  surgical  instruments. 

Descending  from  the  mezzanine,  one  encounters  immediately  the 

SODA  FOUNTAIN    — a  handsome  construction  of  marble,  German  silver. 

and  onyx.  At  this  fountain  we  serve  only  the  purest 
of  fruit  drinks  and  creams,  made  from  fresh,  luscious  fruit,  and  you  need 
not  fear  that  any  substitutes  or  coloring  chemicals  are  ever  used  in  their 
preparation. 

You  will  enjoy  your  stop  at  our  Soda  Fountain,  for  the  following 
reasons: 

1.  We  prepare  all  soda  and  cream  on  our  own  premises,  and  select 
with  discriminating  care  all  the  ingredients  used. 

2.  You  will  receive  prompt  and  attentive  service,  from  girls  dressed 
in  clean  white  aprons  and  neat  little  caps. 

3.  Whe^FWe  selected  our  location  for  the  Soda  Fountain,  we  did  so 
with  a  view  to  making  it  one  of  the  pleasantest  in  the  store,  and  we  are 
certain  that  we  have  succeeded,  as  even  on  an  extremely  warm  day,  you 
will  find  it  comfortably  cool  here. 

The  list  of  drinks  we  serve  is  too  long  to  be  printed  here,  but  below  we 
mention  a  few  of  the  many  delicious  and  nutritious  preparations,  to  give 
you  an  idea  of  what  we  serve: 

Delicious  Frappes  Nourishing  Egg  Drinks 

Iced  Drinks  Coco-Cola 
Phosphates  Moxie 
Ice  Cream  Sodas  All  kinds  of  Milk  Drinks 

Immediately  adjacent  to  our  Soda  Fountain  is  the  Department  of 

CONFECTIONERY  — which  with  good  reason  has  been  termed  the  '  Pal- 
ace of  Sweets." 

Owing  to  the  increase  of  business  in  our  Candy  Shop,  we  have  found  it 
necessary  to  keep  a  larger  and  more  varied  stock  of  choicest  candies, 
novelties,  doylies  and  favors,  than  one  would  think  possible. 

WE  MAKE  OUR  OWN  HOME-MADE  CANDIES.  From  the  White 
Kitchen  on  the  6th  Floor,  our  Candy  Shop  is  supplied  with  delicious  home- 
made sweets,  all  of  which  are  made  of  the  purest,  freshest  and  best  ingre- 
dients obtainable.

shape — square,  oval,  oblong  and  round — and  sizes  from  3  inches  to  18 
inches.

linen,  that  they  deceive  the  most  observant  person;  at,  per  gross,  from  10c 
to  $2.50,  according  to  size  and  design. 

Another  branch  of  our  CONFECTIONERY  STORE  is  devoted  to

paper  for  sandwiches,  and  tin  ice  cream  spoons.  For  CATERING  PUR 
POSES,  we  offer  a  complete  line  of  frills,  skeivers,  pie  collars  and  sherbet

CAKE  ORNAMENTS. 

SNAPPING  MOTTOES  are  here  in  various  colors  and  sizes,  containing 
caps,  snappers  and  toys;  these  are  very  amusing. 

For  every  NATIONAL  HOLIDAY  of  the  year,  we  make  special  displays 
of  appropriate  novelties,  which  can  be  used  for  any  and  every  occasion 
that  requires  a  souvenir.  This  also  includes  Whist,  Engagement  and 
Graduation  Parties  and  Weddings.  We  have  these  favors  in  large  varie- 
ties and  quantities  so  that  anyone  desiring  a  large  amount  can  be  supplied 
at  once.    5c  upwards. 

TWO  MOST  IMPORTANT  HOLIDAYS  IN  OUR  CANDY  SHOP  are

ous to  mention.    5c  upwards.

DEPARTMENT,    afford  to  miss  a  visit  to  this  section.   It  tells  some  plain 

truths  about  lenses  you  really  ought  to  know.  Your 

eyes  deserve  it. 

We  are  making  a  specialty  of  examining  eyes  and  making  glasses  ac- 
cording to  your  own  formula,  prescribed  either  by  our  registered  optome- 
trists or  by  your  own  oculist. 

We  have  two  separate  rooms  for  the  examination  of  eyes,  in  condition 
for  giving  you  the  best  of  service.  You  find  our  charges  on  repairs  very 
reasonable,  accuracy  and  service  being  the  keynote. 

We  have  glasses  running  from  49c  in  an  inexpensive  steel  frame  to 
solid  gold  glasses  at  $18.50. 

No  matter  what  kind  of  eye  trouble  you  have,  if  glasses  will  correct 
it,  we  will  make  just  the  kind  you  need,  and  at  a  very  reasonable  cost. 
Among  the  most  popular  priced  glasses  that  are  sold,  we  have  a  new

ing with  large  toric  lenses,  complete  at  $2.95;  special  ground  lenses  in

mometers: in  fact,  every  requisite  of  the  first-class  optical  store,  is  car-

A  WARNING  TO  PARENTS! 

Many  of  the  little  troubles  from  which  children  suffer,  may  be  traced 
to  some  abnormal  condition  in  the  eyes. 

As  a  rule  a  child  cannot  connect,  for  instance,  a  slight  but  persistent 
headache  with  some  form  of  eyestrain,  and  often  the  real  cause  is  over- 
looked for  so  long  a  time  that  the  trouble  in  the  eyes — easily  and  simply 
cured  or  alleviated  if  taken  in  time — becomes  a  serious  menace  to  the 
health  and  future  of  your  boy  or  girl. 

Do  not  run  this  risk!  Let  us  examine  your  child's  eyes  and  tell  you 
if  any  conditions  exist  which  should  receive  attention.  It  may  save  you 
years  of  worry  and  anxiety.

THE  BLOOM  I NGDALE  Blocmingdales'  "Clothing  Corner"  undoubt- 
CLOTHING  STORE.         edly  owes  its  success  to  the  fine  quality  and 

style  of  its  clothing  and  its  uniformly  low 

prices. 

It  is  convenient  to  two  thoroughfares,  60th  Street  and  Third  Avenue. 
Two  entrances  cpen  into  departments  devoted  exclusively  to  men's  furn- 
ishings on  the  ground  floor,  from  which  the  Clothing  Store  is  reached 
by  a  broad  staircase  and  two  elevators.  We  specialize  in  the  famous 
fashion  clothing  made  by  Rosenberg  Bros.,  of  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  who  are 
known  to  be  one  of  the  most  up-to-date  clothing  houses  for  fine  suits  and 
overcoats.  Prices  $17.95  to  $29.95.  Our  famous  $10.00  suits  cannot  be 
duplicated  anywhere  in  New  York,  for  quality,  style  and  durability. 

One  of  the  popular  features  of  this  great  clothing  store  is  its  quarterly 
tailoring  sales,  which  were  introduced  by  Bloomingdales.  These  sales 
usually  last  for  periods  of  10  days  to  two  weeks  and  are  conducted  on 
the  principles  of  custom  tailoring.  Forty  or  more  choice  materials  are 
presented  for  selection  of  the  customer,  and  when  a  choice  is  made, 
measurements  are  taken  and  a  fashionable  suit,  overccat,  or  raincoat  is

made  to  measure  at  the  moderate  price  of  $14. SO.  Others  from  $17.50 
to  $35.00.  Tailors'  duplicates  would  cost  $25.00  to  $35.00,  according  to 
location  and  reputation.  The  fame  of  these  sales  has  overleaped  local 
boundaries  and  men  of  neighboring  cities  are  found  participating  in  them 
by  hundreds.  The  best  manufacturers  of  the  country  are  represented  in 
the  fashionable  semi-dress  Tuxedo  and  full-dress  clothes  constantly  car- 
ried. We  specialize  in  a  full-dress  suit,  silk-lined  throughout,  at  $35.00. 
Men's  fine  fur  coats,  handsomely  tailored  and  finished,  may  be  bought  at 
Bloomingdales'  at  least  50  per  cent,  below  furriers'  prices. 

At  all  seasons,  great  clothing  stocks  are  maintained,  measuring  up 
to  the  high  standard  of  this  store. 

THE  BOYS'  The  Bloomingdale  Store  for  Juveniles,  adjoining  the 
CLOTHING,  men's  clothing  store,  is  noted  for  its  clothes  of  character 
for  boys  and  youths.  This  and  the  low  prices  that  distin- 
guish it  from  all  other  stores,  are  characteristics  that  have  won  an  im- 
mense patronage.  The  clothing  is  worthy  of  its  high  reputation  for 
reliability  and  excellence. 

BOYS'  HATS  Complete  lines  cf  boys'  hats  and  blouses  are  shown

A  comfortable  and  spacious  waiting  room 
liberally  supplied  with  chairs  and  conveniences 
for  writing  is  at  the  service  of  patrons.  Pens, 
ink  and  correspondence  paper  may  be  had  for 
the  asking.  This  is  a  popular  rendezvous  for 
shoppers  every  business  day  of  the  year. 

It  is  but  a  step  to  the  restaurant,  which  is 
notable  for  the  excellence  of  its  cuisine  and 
service.  Course  dinners,  dishes  a  la  carte,  and 
dainty  lunches  are  prepared  by  competent 
chefs  from  the  best  the  markets  afford  and 
served  at  surprisingly  small  prices.

Bloom i ngd ales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


A  specialty  is  a  dainty  course  luncheon  served  in  the  middle  of  the 
day.  For  business  men  we  offer  our  famcus  "Business  Lunch"  at  35c, 
served  from  11.30  A.  M.  to  2.00  P.  M.  Nothing  in  town  at  double  the 
price  surpasses  it.  Men  find  the  smoking-room  a  very  restful  and  com- 
fortable addition   to  our  Restaurant. 

THE  SHOE  As  befits  a  large  and  particular  clientele,  the  assort- 

DE  PART  ME  NT.  ment  of  styles  and  materials  are  many  and  the  work- 
manship of  the  highest  character. 
Some  of  the  Bloomingdale  shoe  specialties  in  footwear  have  attained 
national  prominence,  notably  their  Arch  Restorer  Shoes  for  women.  They 
are  specially  designed  by  orthopedic  experts  to  relieve  the  painful  effects 
of  fallen  arches.  Our  "Lady  Lexington"  shoe  for  women  is  an  embodi- 
ment of  the  very  best  that  can  be  produced  in  style,  workmanship,  and 
wearing  quality. 

Bloomingdales'  "Nature  Shape"  Shoes  for  children  fit  the  foot  as  a 
glove  fits  the  hand,  and  are  a  boon  to  juveniles. 

Slippers,  too,  of  every  type — house,  street,  party,  ball  or  theatre — 
ready-to-wear  and  to  order  may  be  bought .  with  decided  advantage  at 
Bloomingdales'. 

Many  men  and  women  supply  themselves  with  Blocmingdales'  shoes 
to  the  exclusion  of  all  others,  a  convincing  proof  of  superiority. 

FINE  TEA  GOWNS  A  large  section  adjoining  the  shoe  store  is  de- 
AND  KIMONOS.  voted  to  beautiful  kimcnos  and  sumptuous  gowns

Included  in  the  house  gowns  are  elaborate  creations  of  soft  silk  and 
crepe,  combined  with  laces  and  bandings  of  fur — designed  to  meet  the

ness  and  good  service  in  an  unusual  degree,  and  are  more  than  ordi- 
narily becoming. 

One  very  effective  model  is  made  of  albatross,  embroidered  front  and 
back,  finished  with  embroidered  scalloped  edge  around  neck  and  down 
front,  to  waist  line,  ruffle  of  lace  in  sleeves — ribbon  belt  made  on  elastic.

OUR  NEW  PIANO  FACTORY 

The  old  factory  of  the  Walters  Piano  Co.,  at  226  East  63d 
Street,  was  completely  destroyed  by  fire,  entailing  the  loss  of 
over  $150,000.00. 

Temporary  quarters  were  secured  at  2  West  140th  Street  and 
503  East  72d  Street,  but  were  inadequate  to  keep  pace  with  the 
swift-growing  demand  for  Walters  Pianos. 

To  meet  this  demand  the  magnificent  Factory  here  shown 
was  built,  and  the  finishing  touches  applied  in  the  fall  of  1914. 
It  is  one  of  the  finest,  as  well  as  one  of  the  busiest,  factories  in 
Greater  New  York.

REAL  ESTATE  Sixteen  years  have  elapsed  since  Bloomingdales  as- 
DEPARTMENT.  tonished  contemporaries  by  establishing  a  real  estate 
bureau  as  a  feature  of  their  business.  The  success  of 
the  enterprise  is  proven  by  its  continuance  and  the  fact  that  the  develop- 
ment was  in  Westchester  County,  where,  since  the  electrification  of  rail- 
road .lines,  the  tracts  show  largely  increased  valuations,  with  still  higher 
tendencies.  This  department  is  now  located  in  a  section  of  the  Piano 
Warerooms  on  the  Third  Floor.

OUR  GREAT  ANNUAL  FURNITURE  SALES 

Twice  a  year — February  and  August — we  hold  our  GREATEST  Furni- 
ture Sales  of  the  year.  These  events  are  the  result  of  careful  planning 
months  ahead  of  the  actual  date  of  the  sale.  Our  representatives  visit 
the  leading  furniture  manufactories  of  this  country,  ordering  furniture  at 
a  time  when  prices  are  at  their  lowest  tide. 

What  this  means  to  you  can  be  judged  by  the  price  tags  when  the 
furniture  is  finally  placed  on  the  floor  for  your  inspection.  That  the 
furniture  is  of  reliable  quality,  made  for  service,  will  be  attested  by 
thousands  of  our  customers  who  have  taken  advantage  of  these  sales.

Bloomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  eor  1915. 


The  demand  in  our  country  for 
Oriental  Rugs  is  steadily  increas- 
ing year  by  year,  until  now  they 
are  the  recognized  necessity  in  the 
overing  line,  and  as  such  we  treat 
them  as  we  do  any  other  merchandise  that 
we  carry,  as  regards  their  selling. 

They  are  all  mostly  modern  pieces,  and 
under  the  new  laws  recently  passed  by  our 
government  they  are  very  strong  contenders 
for  first  honors  in  the  approval  of  our  cus- 
tomers with  our  own  make  of  domestic  rugs. 

We  specialize  in  Oriental  Rugs  at  prices 
which  make  it  difficult  to  resist  buying  them 
when  seen  in  our  department. 

The  Oriental  Rug  Department  is  so  ar- 
ranged that  all  our  rugs  are  shown  under 
a  northern  light,  thus  giving  a  true  concep- 
tion of  color  values  as  they  appear  when 
shown  away  from  the  department.    The  rugs  are  here  for  every  room  in 
the  house  in  regular  and  odd  sizes. 

Our  cash  resources  give  extraordinary  facilities  for  securing  quantities 
much  larger  than  most  stores  are  in  a  position  to  handle.  This  brings 
us  price  advantage  that  we  share  with  our  patrons;  also  enabling  us  to 
turn  our  stocks  over  much  more  readily,  which  means  fresh,  new  goods 
right  up  to  the  mark  as  to  designs,  quality  and  prices. 

Our  line -of  small  and  medium  mats,  that  is,  rugs  about  2  to  Zy2  ft. 
wide  and  3  to  7  ft  long,  sell  from  $7.50  to  $45.00.  You  will  find  in  this 
collection  Persian  Hamadan  Rugs,  Mossouls,  Beloochistans,  Carabaghs, 
Kazakjias,  Cabistans,  Bokharas,  both  modern  and  antique. 

Sarouks,  Kirmanshahs,  Kazaks,  Irans,  Serabends  from  4  to  5%  ft. 
wide  and  5  to  10  ft.  long.  These  are  extra  fine  pieces;  prices  range  from 
$50.00  to  $100.00. 

Room-size  rugs,  from  about  6  x  9  ft.  up  to  13.11  x  20.3  and  larger.  These 
room-size  rugs  include  all  the  best  hand-made  modern  rugs  that  are  on 
the  market.  We  just  mention  a  few  kinds:  Royal  Kashans,  Sarouks, 
Kirmanshahs,  Mesheds,  Serapies,  Mahals,  Ghorovans,  Muskabads,  Ana- 
tolians, Chinese,  Khivas,  Indias,  etc.

RUGS 

The  Rug  Department  is  a  little  store  all  by  itself.  The  ever-increasing 
demand  for  this  class  of  floor  covering  has  compelled  us  to  pay  strict 
attention  to  this  condition  of  things.  The  assortment  of  domestic  rugs

to  carry  out.  To  enumerate  all  the  different  qualities,  nrices,  etc.,  would 
require  a  volume.  We  give  you  here  a  partial  list  of  prices,  qualities,

The  original  rolls  are  displayed  along  nearly  half  the  length  of  our 
59th  Street  building,  where  you  can  get  a  good  idea  of  how  this  choice

Welfare  Work  at 
Bloomingdales 


During  the  forty-two  years  of  the 
existence  of  the  firm  of  Blooming- 
dale  Bros.,  there  has  been  a  steady 
development  of  its  WELFARE 
WORK,  a  subject  which  has  always 
had  the  most  serious  and  intelli- 
gent attention  on  the  part  of  the 
firm  and  all  those  in  executive  po- 
sitions. Today,  as  in  the  past,  no 
Department  Store  surpasses  Bloom- 
ingdales' in  providing  facilities  and 
means  for  the  benefit  of  the  health, 
comfort  and  general  welfare  of  em- 
ployees. As  a  result,  the  employ- 
ees of  the  store  find  their  work 
most  pleasant  and  their  surround- 
ings most  "homelike." 

ADVANCEMENT  OF  EMPLOYEES 

An  extremely  important  object  of 
welfare  work  in  a  Department  Store 
is  the  advancement  of  employees  to 
superior  positions  instead  of  engag- 
ing new  employees  when  such  va- 
cancies occur.  Bloomingdales'  em- 
ployees receive  their  training  for 
such  superior  positions,  and  by  this 
method  opportunity  has  been  af- 
forded a  large  number  who  now 
hold  executive  positions  to  rise 
from  minor  positions  in  which  they 
started  as  mere  boys  when  the 
store  first  opened. 

EDUCATIONAL  FACILITIES 

A  new  feature  of  the  WELFARE 
WORK  is  the  "Continuation 
School."  Bloomingdales'  has  been 
the  first  Department  Store  to  insti- 
tute a  course  of  instruction  for  mi- 
nor employees,  under  the  supervi- 
sion of  the  Board  of  Education,  in 
elementary  and  vocational  studies. 
These  classes  meet  for  instruction 
one  hour  every  morning. 


LUNCH  ROOMS 

The  Bloomingdale  restaurant  for 
employees  on  the  fifth  floor — large, 
light,  airy  and  sanitary — provides 
excellent  meals  consisting  of  the 
best  of  food,  at  less  than  cost  prices. 

In  fact,  the  cash  returns  do  not 
cover  the  expense  of  the  food  itself, 
not  to  speak  of  the  added  expense 
of  a  staff  of  waiters  and  other  work- 
ers required  to  maintain  a  restau- 
rant. Employees  may  bring  their 
own  lunches  if  they  so  desire,  and 
purchase  some  refreshment  such  as 
tea,  coffee,  milk,  etc.,  at  a  nominal 
outlay. 

RECREATION  ROOMS 

After  luncheon,  the  employees 
have  at  their  disposal  a  beautiful, 
large  "resting  room,"  liberally  pro- 
vided with  couches  and  easy  chairs. 
The  room  contains  an  organ  and  a 
piano,  and  singing  and  dancing  are 
features  of  the  enjoyment  indulged 
in.  Many  of  the  girls  bring  their 
books,  while  still  others  bring  some 
article  of  embroidery  or  other  fancy 
work. 

ENCOURAGING  THRIFT 

A  branch  of  the  well-known  "Pen- 
ny Provident  Fund"  is  maintained 
by  the  store,  office  room  and  the 
services  of  a  clerk  being  supplied 
at  the  expense  of  the  firm.  Penny 
deposits  are  received,  and  when  a 
hundred  pennies  have  accumulated, 
they  may  be  withdrawn  and  depos- 
ited in  the  Banking  Department, 
where,  among  other  features,  a  Spe- 
cial Account  Department  is  conduct- 
ed. Interest  at  4  per  cent,  per  an- 
num is  paid  on  such  deposits.  En- 


77 


Bloomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


couraged  by  the  "Penny  Provident 
Fund,"  and  with  the  co-operation  of 
the  Special  Account  Department, 
many  sums  are  laid  aside  for  the 
proverbial  rainy  day. 

SPECIAL  DISCOUNTS 

All  employees  are  allowed  a  dis- 
count of  10  per  cent,  on  their  pur- 
chases. An  employee  in  the  house 
any  length  of  time  is  welcome  to 
buy,  say,  $10.00  worth  of  goods  and 
pay  at  the  rate  of  $1.00  a  week. 
This  feature  of  the  WELFARE 
WORK  is  conducted  by  the  Employ- 
ees' Merchandise  Department, 
wherein  employees  are  treated  with 
the  utmost  consideration,  merchan- 
dise being  charged  to  them  on  the 
weekly  payment  plan,  the  amount 
of  the  payments  to  be  measured  by 
the  extent  of  their  purchases  and 
the  salary  they  receive.  This  ac- 
commodation makes  it  unnecessary 
for  employees  to  deal  with  the  in- 
stallment houses,  which  generally 
charge  higher  rates  for  their  mer- 
chandise to  compensate  them  for 
the  "time"  privilege  on  payments. 

MUTUAL  AID  SOCIETY 

On  the  initiative  of  representa- 
tive employees,  and  with  the  firm's 
encouragement  and  support,  Bloom- 
ingdale  Bros.  Employees'  Mutual 
Aid  Society  was  established  in  1881, 
incorporated  in  1888,  and  in  1915 
will  celebrate  the  34th  anniversary 
of  its  useful  and  benign  work.  Pre- 
vious to  1881,  cases  originating 
among  employees  requiring  finan- 
cial assistance  had  been  referred  to 
a  member  of  the  firm  and  relief  fur- 
nished direct  from  the  coffers  of  the 
house.  Since  its  inception,  the  So- 
ciety has  extended  aid  to  more  than 
35,000  people.  The  Society's  rec- 
ords clearly  demonstrate  that,  in 
times  of  stress,  worthy  employees 
who  could  not  be  induced  to  accept 


private  aid  avail  themselves  of  the 
benefits  to  which  they  are  justly  en- 
titled as  members  of  the  Blooming- 
dale  Bros.  Employees'  Mutual  Aid 
Society. 

The  majority  of  the  present  offi- 
cers of  the  Society  were  sponsors 
at  its  birth.  They  are  heads  of  va- 
rious important  departments  in  the 
store  and  discharge  their  duties  to 
the  Society  as  if  they  were  part  of 
their  obligation  to  the  business  it- 
self. 

All  employees  of  Bloomingdales' 
directly  connected  with  the  busi- 
ness for  one  month  are  members  of 
the  Mutual  Aid  Society  during  the 
period  of  their  employment  by  the 
firm.  They  are  divided  into  three 
grades,  as  follows: 

The  first  grade  pays  monthly 
dues  of  10c,  the  second  30c  and  the 
third  50c,  which,  in  case  of  sick- 
ness, entitles  them  to  a  sick  bene- 
fit after  the  second  week,  and,  in 
case  of  death,  a  death  benefit,  ac- 
cording to  schedule  for  each  grade. 

The  services  of  a  physician  are 
free  to  all  members  residing  with- 
in the  limits  of  the  Borough  of 
Manhattan.  Members  living  out- 
side of  this  Borough  are  entitled  to 
regular  sick  benefits  on  receipt  of 
a  certificate  from  the  doctor  who 
attended  them. 

PHYSICIAN 

The  Society's  physician  pays  a 
visit  each  day  to  the  Bloomingdale 
store.  The  firm  has  fitted  up  for 
the  benefit  of  employees  a  dispen- 
sary supplied  with  every  modern 
surgical  appliance.  This  has  been 
found  to  be  of  great  assistance,  for 
illness  taken  care  of  in  the  first 
stage  has  prevented  many  a  long 
and  serious  attack.

Bloom i ngd ales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


OPTICIAN 

The  eyes  of  employees  are  exam- 
ined by  an  optician  free  of  charge 
and  glasses  furnished  at  cost.  Em- 
ployees may  make  appointment's  be- 
tween 8:30  and  10  o'clock — the  reg- 
ular shopping  period — and  all  are 
urged  to  utilize  this  opportunity, 
with  the  suggestion  that  frequent 
headaches  and  kindred  ailments 
arise  from  unsuspected  impaired 
eyesight. 

DENTIST 

Another  novel  feature  of  WEL- 
FARE WORK  is  the  fact  that  a 
dentist  in  the  building  attends  to 
the  teeth  of  the  employees  at  half 
rates. 

CHIROPODIST 

The  services  of  an  expert  chirop- 
odist are  rendered  to  employees  at 
half  the  usual  rates. 

FINANCIAL  ASSISTANCE 

Cases  of  urgent  need  receive  im- 
mediate relief,  the  President  of  the 
Society  having  full  power  to  grant 
a  sum  not  to  exceed  $25.00  to  a 
member  in  distress.  Much  comfort 
is  derived  from  the  knowledge  that 
"but  to  ask  is  to  receive." 

Another  valuable  feature  is  the 
provision  for  a  loan,  not  exceeding 
$50.00,  to  a  member  suffering  tem- 
porary financial  embarrassment. 

WARNING  AGAINST  LOAN 
SHARKS 

A  slip  containing  a  warning  against 
usurers  has  been  distributed  to  every 
employee  of  the  Bloomingdale  Store. 

It  points  that  employees  in  good  stand- 
ing can  receive  assistance  from  the  funds 
of  The  Mutual  Aid  Society  when  they 
are  in  urgent  need  of  money. 

SPECIAL  FUNDS. 
While  the  By-Laws  of  the  Bloom- 
ingdale Bros.  Mutual  Aid  *  Society 
restrict  it  to   WELFARE  WORK 


among  members  in  good  standing 
only,  the  "Fannie  Myers  Fund," 
the  "Lyman  G.  Bloomingdale"  and 
"Joseph  B.  Bloomingdale"  funds, 
which  are  a  part  and  parcel  of  the 
Mutual  Aid  Society,  make  it  possi- 
ble to  assist  the  families  of  em- 
ployees who  are  not  members  and 
therefore  not  entitled  to  draw  up- 
on the  funds  of  the  Mutual  Aid  So- 
ciety. The  fact  is  that  the  found- 
ers, the  late  Fannie  Myers,  and  the 
late  Lyman  G.  Bloomingdale  and 
the  late  Joseph  B.  Bloomingdale,  in- 
tended this  fund  for  certain  persons 
not  entitled  to  the  funds  of  the  Mu- 
tual Aid  Society,  including  ex-em- 
ployees; even  employees  who  have 
received  from  the  Society  all  they 
were  entitled  to  according  to  the 
By-Laws  of  said  Society,  may  have 
their  benefits  extended  through 
these  funds. 

FREE  SUMMER  VACATIONS  AT 
FAR  ROCKAWAY. 

The  summer  cottage  maintained 
at  Far  Rockaway  by  Bloomingdale 
Bros,  for  the  female  employees  of 
the  store,  is  one  of  the  most  laud- 
able features  of  the  WELFARE 
WORK,  and  is  accorded  a  full  mea- 
sure of  appreciation  by  the  hun- 
dreds of  Bloomingdale  girls  who, 
during  the  course  of  the  summer, 
are  the  guests  of  the  management. 
For  years  past  it  has  been  the  cus- 
tom of  the  Society  to  send  the  fe- 
male employees  who  have  been  in 
the  firm's  employ  one  year  or  more, 
on  a  week's  vacation  to  Far  Rock- 
away,  Long  Island.  Not  alone  is 
their  salary  continued,  but  the 
transportation  to  and  from  Far 
Rockaway  and  board  while  there 
are  entirely  without  any  outlay  on 
their  part.  Quite  frequently  the 
more  delicate  girls  are  granted  a 
stay  of  two  weeks.

Bloomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


All  sorts  of  out-door  games  for 
daytime  amusement  are  provided, 
including  the  rides  through  the 
country,  surf  bathing,  green  corn 
feasts — all  without  any  expense 
whatsoever  to  the  vacationists;  the 
picture  reproduced  on  the  accom- 
panying page  tells  the  story  of  the 
recreation  enjoyed  by  the  girls  far 
more  eloquently  than  can  be  ex- 
pressed in  words;  and  musicales 
and  dancing  make  the  evenings  all 
too  short. 

In  consequence,  Bloomingdales' 
girls  enter  into  the  fall  season  tan- 
ned, robust  and  healthy. 

THANKSGIVING  EVE. 

On  Thanksgiving  Eve  there  is  an- 
other manifestation  of  WELFARE 
WORK  in  a  general  presentation  of 
turkeys  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Society. 


WEDDING  PRESENTS. 

Wedding  presents  are  given  to  all 
employees  after  one  year's  service. 

CONCLUSION. 

Could  there  be  any  better  demon- 
stration of  genuine  WELFARE 
WORK  than  is  set  forth  in 
these  pages?  Bloomingdales'  were 
pioneers  in  department  store  WEL- 
FARE WORK,  and  it  is  needless  to 
point  out  that  their  efforts  in  this 
direction  go  far  to  make  the  store 
life  of  their  thousands  of  employ- 
ees a  pleasure.  And  the  benefits 
are  twofold:  An  unusual  feeling  of 
good  comradeship  is  established  be- 
tween emplcyees,  and  this  feeling, 
fostered  by  the  firm,  has  resulted 
in  a  spirit  of  loyalty  that  cannot 
help  but  play  an  important  part  in 
the  progress  of  the  business.

BANKING. 

The  store  of  Bloomingdale  Brothers 
was  the  first  in  Greater  New  York 
to  install  a  Banking  Department,  and 
is.  therefore,  the  originator  of  the 
idea.  From  its  inception  we  have 
spared  no  pains  to  safeguard  the  in- 
terest of  our  depositors. 

Under  date  of  July  1,  1914,  we 
placed  our  Banking  Department  under 
the  supervision  of  the  Banking  De- 
partment of  the  State  of  New  York, 
as  we  felt  that  sucn  a  step  would 
insure  to  depositors  the  same  protec- 
tion as  is  offered  by  Savings  Banks, 
State  Banks  and  Trust  Companies. 
Under  these  conditions  our  depositors 
will  find  that  they  cannot  select  a 
more  secure  depository  for  their  funds. 
Our  equipment  is  thoroughly  modern 
and  up-to-date  and  enables  us  to  han- 
dle private  and  household  accounts  as 
advantageously  as  we  do  the  accounts 
of  large  commercial  enterprises. 


Special  facilities  have  been  installed 
to  simplify  the  relations  between  de- 
positors and  our  Banking  Depart- 
ment. As  a  consequence  women  will 
find  it  a  great  convenience  to  trans- 
act their  banking  business  with  us. 

We  shall  be  pleased  to  receive  check 
ing  accounts  averaging  $100  and  up- 
wards. Ordinarily,  banks  do  not  ac- 
cept accounts  unless  liberal  balances 
can  be  maintained.  We,  on  the  other 
hand,  recognizing  the  necessity  or 
banking  facilities  for  the  small  de- 
positor, have  made  arrangements  to 
handle  accounts  of  moderate  size. 

A  few  vears  ago  people  of  moderate 
means  did  not  feel  the  necessity  of 
banking  facilities.  Nowadays,  how- 
ever, conditions  are  vastly  different, 
and  the  household  bank  account  is 
regarded  a  necessity. 

The  payment  of  bills  by  check  en- 
ables you  to  keep  a  detailed  record  of 
your  expenditures,  and  provides  the 
best  kind  of  a  receipt  in  every  in- 
stance. A  bank  account  does  more, — 
it  enables  you  to  conduct  your  finan- 
cial affairs  in  a  systematic,  business- 
like way,  and  encourages  economy. 

As  the  store  is  readily  accessible 
from  all  parts  of  the  city,  an  account 
with  our  Banking  Department  will  no 
found  a  great  convenience ;  not  only 
because  our  patrons  mny  combine 
their  shopping  with  banking  transac- 
tions, but  they  enjoy  the  additional 
advantage  of  longer  banking  hours 
than  are  offered  by  banks  and  trust 
companies.  Our  Banking  Department 
opens  at  9  A.M.  and  closes  at  5  P.M. 
every  day  in  the  year,  except  Sun- 
days and  the  following  holidavs  :  New 
Year's  Day.  Washington's  Birthday, 
Decoration  Day,  4th  of  July,  Labor 
Day,  Thanksgiving  and  Christmas. 
Our  depositors,  therefore,  are  in  a  po- 
sition to  obtain  funds  practically  at 
the  beginning  of  the  business  day  and 
make  deposits  twq  hours  after  other 
banks  have  closed.

ceiving deposits  by  mail. 

If  your  needs  do  not  require  a 
checking  account,  we  direct  your  at- 
tention to  our  Interest  Department, 
where  we  allow  interest  at  the  rate  of 
4%  per  annum  on  accounts  of  $5.00 
and  upwards.  Deposits  made  before 
the  10th  dag  of  any  month  draw  in- 
terest from  the  first  of  that  month. 
This  arrangement  (jives  depositors  an 
advantage  not  generally  offered  by  in- 
stitutions carrying  this  class  of  ac- 
eon  nts. 


SAFETY    FOR    YOUR  SAVINGS 
AND  BANKABLE  PROFITS. 

That  is  what  a  deposit  account  ar 
Bloomingdale  Bros. — Bankers—  means 
to  you. 

When  you  seek  investment  of  vour 
money  to  whom  do  you  go?  Why. 
naturally,  to  one  whose  refutation  for 
conservatism  and  good  solid  judgment 
is  unquestionable.  Just  so  with  a 
Savings  account.  Safetv  and  relia- 
bility is  your  first  thought. 

For  forty-two  years  the  firm  of 
Bloomingdale  Bios,  has  stood  for  hon- 
esty and  reliability.  It  has  earned  for 
itself  the  name  of  "Home  of  Truth." 
As  Private  Bankers  we  are  under  the 
supervision  of  the  Superintendent  of 
Banks  of  the  State  of  New  York. 

$5.00  will  start  a  deposit  account. 
And  yon  will  be  surprised  how  rap- 
idly your  account  will  increase  in  size 
by  adding  just"  a  little  each  week  or 
n^onth,  and  allowing  the  interest  to 
accumulate. 

4%  interest  every  six  months ! 
That  means  considerable  in  the  end. 
And  here's  another  advantage — you 
can  have  all  your  purchases  at  out- 
store  charged  against  this  account. 

It  will  pay  you  to  start  a  deposit 
account  noir. 


LETTERS  OF  CREDIT. 

Letters  of  credit  payable  in  all  parts 
of  the  world  are  issued  by  our  Bank- 
ing  Department    at   moderate  rates. 


People  who  wish  to  avoid  the  danger 
of  carrying  actual  money  with  them 
on  their  journeys,  and  who  desire  to 
be  relieved  of  the  trouble  and  expense 
of  exchanging  the  currency  of  one 
country  for  that  of  another,  will  find 
our  Letters  of  Credit  meet  every  re- 
quirement. Equipped  with  our  Letter 
of  Credit,  you  may  safely  visit  any 
part  of  the  civilized  world,  knowing 
that  your  finances  are  well  taken 
care  of. 

Even  if  the  Letter  of  Credit  is  lost, 
it  is  not  available  to  anyone  but  the 
person  to  whom  it  is  issued.  Our 
correspondents  will  honor  no  Drafts 
against  it  unless  the  signature  agrees 
in  every  particular  with  that  filed  at 
the  time  the  Letter  was  issued. 

We  also  sell  Drafts  and  Travelers 
Checks  payable  in  all  parts  of  the 
world.  Parties  desirous  of  sending 
money  abroad,  may  obtain  these 
Drafts  or  Travelers  Checks  at  our 
Banking  Department.  Both  will  be 
paid  at  the  other  side  without  any 
deduction  from  their  face. 

Foreign  moneys  bougnt  and  sold. 

Drafts  and  Coupons  payable  in  all 
parts  of  the  world  promptly  collected. 

SAFE  DEPOSIT  VAULTS. 

In  the  construction  of  our  Safe  De- 
posit Vault  only  the  best  material  has 
been  used,  and  every  means  employed 
to  insure  absolute  security  against 
loss  by  fire  or  theft. 


PRIVATE  SAFES  $3.00.  $4.00  AND 
$5.00  PER  YEAR. 

Why  take  the  risk  of  keeping  se 
curities,  valuable  papers,  jewelry, 
keepsakes,  etc..  at  home,  when  at  a 
nominal  cost  you  can  have  a  private 
safe  of  ample  dimensions  in  a  Fire 
and  Burglar  Proof  Vault,  which  is 
guarded  day  and  night  throughout  the 
year  ? 

Persons  renting  private  safes  have 
exclusive  control  of  same.

BLOOMINGDALES' 
POPULAR    COOK  BOOK 


Introductory 

In  presenting  these  recipes  to  housekeepers  we  do  not  claim  origin- 
ality. But  as  every  one  has  been  tested,  and  dishes  cooked  from  the 
formulas  given,  have  been  passed  judgment  upon  many  times,  we  feel 
justified  in  vouching  for  the  contents.  We  would  take  this  opportunity 
to  thank  all  who  have  so  kindly  contributed  recipes,  or  who  have 
helped  us  in  any  way,  and  in  particular  the  Ladies  of  Manchester 
Grange,  Manchester,  Maine.,  to  whose  courtesy  the  majority  of  the 
recipes  are  due. 


SOUPS. 


MOCK  BISQUE  SOUP. 

Two-thirds  quart  can  of  tomatoes,  one  quart  of  boiling  milk,  two- 
thirds  teaspoonful  soda.  Cook  the  tomatoes,  remove  from  the  stove 
and  strain  through  a  sieve,  then  add  the  soda  and  while  foaming  the 
milk.    Return  to  the  stove  and  season  with  butter,  salt  and  pepper. 

POTATO  SOUP. 

Two  good  sized  onions  sliced  and  placed  in  kettle  with  a  little  water, 
cook  for  a  few  minutes,  then  add  eight  good  sized  potatoes  peeled  and 
sliced.  Cook  these  in  as  little  water  as  possible  until  nearly  done,  then 
add  as  much  good  milk  as  you  like,  let  come  to  a  boil,  adding  butter, 
pepper  and  salt  to  taste. 

BEAN  POT  STEW. 

Try  this:  it  is  nice,  cheap  and  easily  prepared.  Get  a  pound  of 
shoulder  steak  or  any  kind  of  stew  meat  and  cut  up  in  inch  pieces. 
Place  a  layer  of  meat  in  bean-pot,  sprinkle  with  pepper  and  salt,  then 
a  tablespoonful  of  flour,  next  a  layer  of  sliced  onions  and  one  of  potatoes 
and  so  on  until  meat  is  used  up.  Cover  with  a  cup  of  water,  place  in 
oven,  covered,  and  bake  slowly  till  done.    If  water  bakes  off,  add  more.

two  quarts  of  water  and  boil  until  tender.  Season  with  salt  and  a 
generous  lump  of  butter.  Move  the  kettle  to  the  side  of  the  fire  and 
add  one  quart  of  tomatoes  thoroughly  cooked,  strained  and  sweetened

Three  large  potatoes  mashed,  one  tablespoon  butter,  three  eggs 
beaten  light,  one  cup  sweet  milk,  half  a  teaspoon  salt  and  riour  to  make

Cover  slowly  and  let  cook  for  twenty  minutes  without  raising  the  lid. 

CLAM  STEW. 

To  one  quart  of  clams  a  quarter  pound  butter,  salt  and  pepper.  Heat 
two  quarts  milk  over  hot  water  until  it  comes  to  a  boiling  point,  which 
will  be  when  bubbles  form  cn  the  top  of  the  milk;  cook  clams  in  the 
butter  with  salt  and  pepper  ten  minutes,  then  mix  with  the  milk. 


VEGETABLES. 


GLAZED  CARROTS  AND  PEAS. 

Wash  and  scrape  three  medium-sized  carrots,  cut  in  one-fourth-inch 
slices.  Cook  fifteen  minutes  in  boiling  water;  drain,  and  put  in  a 
saucepan  with  one-half  cup  of  butter,  one-half  cup  sugar  and  one  table- 
spoon chopped  fresh  mint  leaves.  Cook  slowly  until  glazed  and 
tender.  Drain  one  can  of  peas,  and  rinse  thoroughly  with  cold  water. 
Put  in  a  saucepan,  cover  with  boiling  water,  and  let  boil  ten  minutes.

dish,  and  surround  with  the  carrots. 

DRIED  LIMA  BEANS.

Bloomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


SAUCE. 

Cook  one  and  one-hall'  tablespoons  butter  with  one-half  tablespoon 
finely  chopped  onions  two  minutes,  stirring  constantly.  Add  one  and 
one-naif  tablespoons  flour,  and  stir  until  well  browned.  Then  pour 
gradually  while  stirring  constantly,  one  cup  of  stewed  and  strained 
tomatoes.    Bring  to  the  boiling  point,  and  season  with  salt  and  pepper. 

POTATO  SOUFPIiE. 

Beat  two  cups  hot  mashed  potatoes,  two  tablespoons  butter,  melted 
together,  salt,  pepper  and  one  well-beaten  egg.    Bake  until  brown. 

SWEET  POTATO  CROQUETTES. 

Take  six  good  sized  potatoes,  boil  or  steam  them  as  dry  as  possible 
Mash  them  fine  and  smooth  with  a  fork  and  mix  with  the  yolks  of  two 
eggs,  seasoning  with  one-half  teaspoon  cinnamon  and  some  nutmeg, 
salt  and  pepper  to  taste.  Mould  and  fry  in  hot  lard  or  drippings  a 
nice  brown. 

SWEET  POTATOES. 

Cut  cold  baked  sweet  potatoes  into  one-fourth-inch  slices  and  put 
them  in  an  earthen  dish.  Spread  each  layer  with  butter  and  sprinkle 
slightly  with  sugar;  bake  until  hot  and  slightly  browned.  Sweet  pota- 
toes are  much  richer  when  twice  cooked. 

NEW  WAY  TO  COOK  PARSNIPS. 

Boil  slowly  two  pounds  of  pared  parsnips  until  soft  enough  to  put  a 
straw  through,  then  drain  and  mash  thoroughly  as  you  would  potatoes. 
Add  a  good  big  lump  of  butter  and  a  little  cream  or  milk.  Don't  make 
too  soft.  Then  pack  in  baking  dish  and  bake  a  golden  brown  in  a  quick 
oven.    Splendid  served  with  boiled  or  baked  fish. 

COLD  BEAN  CROQUETTES. 

Here  is  a  nice  way  of  using  cold  beans  in  croquettes:  I  get  them 
ready  at  night,  so  it  takes  just  a  moment  to  cook  them  for  breakfast. 
Mash  two  cups  baked  beans,  yolks  of  one  or  two  eggs,  one  tablespoon 
melted  butter,  a  pinch  of  salt.  Form  into  cones.  Roll  in  cracker 
crumbs.  I  do  not  coat  with  egg,  as  they  are  rather  moist,  and  I  find 
the  cracker  crumbs  stick  on  all  right.    Cook  and  serve  hot. 

STEWED  ASPARAGUS. 

Wash  the  asparagus,  cut  in  pieces,  reject  the  tough  ends,  put  in 
saucepan,  cover  with  boiling  water,  let  it  boil  one-half  hour  and  drain, 
return  to  the  saucepan  with  one-half  pint  of  cream,  a  tablespoon  of 
butter  and  a  little  salt  and  pepper,  let  come  to  a  boil,  take  up  and  serve. 

ARTIFICIAL  OYSTERS. 

Cut  green  corn  on  the  ear  down  the  center  of  the  kernels  and  press 
out  the  pulp  with  the  back  of  a  silver  knife.  To  one  cup  of  pulp  add 
one  egg,  two  tablespoons  milk,  a  quarter  teaspoon  soda,  one-half  tea- 
spoon salt;  drop  on  a  well-greased  spider  and  brown  on  both  sides.

Bloomixgdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


CABBAGE  GERMAN  STYLE. 

Chop  as  much  cabbage  as  you  desire,  cook  in  water  and  salt  (as  little 
water  as  possible)  until  nearly  done;  then  add  as  much  rich  milk  as 
you  wish,  seasoning  with  butter,  pepper,  and  more  salt  if  desired.  This 
is  very  nice. 

SUCCOTASH. 

Cook  fresh  shelled  beans;  cook  fresh  corn  on  the  ears;  cut  the  corn 
from  the  cob  and  mix  with  the  shelled  beans,  having  about  the  same 
of  one  as  the  other.  Mix  well,  being  sure  to  keep  as  hot  as  possible. 
Season  well  with  lots  of  butter,  pepper  and  salt.  Cream  may  be  added 
if  desired. 

STEAMED  PARSNIPS. 

Wash  and  scrape  clean,  steam  one  hour,  then  slice  quite  thin,  season 
with  pepper,  salt  and  plenty  of  butter. 

SCALLOPED  CORN. 

Open  and  air  a  can  of  corn  in  a  bowl,  then  run  through  a  colander. 
Mix  with  this  a  cup  of  milk  and  two  eggs  beaten  light,  salt  and  pepper 
to  taste.  Cover  the  bottom  of  a  baking  dish  lightly  with  dry  bread 
crumbs,  pour  over  this  the  corn  batter,  cover  with  more  bread  crumbs, 
bits  of  butter,  pepper  and  salt,  and  bake  until  brown. 


MEATS  AND  FISH. 


BEEF  POT  ROAST 

Put  a  very  little  drippings  in  an  iron  kettle.  When  hot,  lay  the  beef 
in.  Add  an  onion  chopped  and  fried  in  butter  till  brown.  Pour  in 
water  that  has  boiled,  to  half  the  height  of  the  meat.  Add  salt  and 
pepper  and  cover  as  close  as  possible.  Thicken  the  gravy.  Simmer 
from  two  to  three  hours,  according  to  weight.  When  done,  take  up 
and  pour  the  gravy  over  it,  and  send  to  the  table. 

MOLDED  SALMON. 

One  can  salmon,  two  eggs  beaten  lightly,  two  tablespoons  melted 
butter,  one-half  cup  fried  bread  crumbs,  one  tablespoon  cornstarch; 
chop  fish  fine,  beat  in  bowl  with  silver  spoon,  add  pepper  and  salt  to 
taste.    Put  in  a  buttered  mold  and  steam  one  and  a  half  hours. 

LEFTOVER  MEAT  RECIPE. 

Have  you  ever  had  just  a  few  pieces  of  meat  left  over  some  time  and 
some  thickened  gravy?  I  have  and  so  cut  up  the  meat  in  small  pieces, 
add  onions  and  cold  water  to  cover  them;  let  boil  until  the  onions  (cut 
up)  are  done,  then  add  diced  potatoes  and  the  thickened  gravey,  and 
salt,  if  needed.    It.  makes  a  very  easy  and  cheap  dish  of  leftovers.

SHREDDED  WHEAT  OYSTER,  MEAT  OB  VEGETABLE  PATTIES. 

Cut  oblong  cavity  in  top  of  biscuit,  remove  top  carefully  and  all  inside 
shreds,  forming  a  shell.  Sprinkle  with  salt  and  pepper,  put  small  pieces 
of  butter  in  bottom,  and  fill  the  shell  with  drained,  picked  and  washed 
oysters.  Season  with  additional  salt  and  pepper.  Replace  top  of  biscuit 
over  oysters,  then  bits  of  butter  on  top.  Place  in  a  covered  pan  and 
bake  in  a  moderate  oven.  Pour  oyster  liquor  or  cream  sauce  over  it. 
Shellfish,  vegetables,  or  meats  may  also  be  used. 

AN  EXCELLENT  WAY  TO  PREPARE  (OLD  MEATS. 

Cold  beef  or  lamb  chopped  fine  in  your  meat  chopper;  if  beef,  put 
in  a  pinch  of  cloves;  if  lamb,  enough  summer  savory  to  season  it,  pepper 
and  salt.  Put  in  a  baking  dish,  cover  the  meat  with  mashed  potatoes 
that  have  been  previously  seasoned  with  salt,  butter  and  cream,  beat 
one  egg,  add  little  cream  or  milk  and  spread  over  the  potatoes.  Bake 
in  a  quick  oven. 

(OLD  BEEF. 

One  cup  of  cold  beef,  chopped  fine,  one  egg,  one-third  cup  bread 
crumbs,  season  with  salt,  pepper  and  sage.  Make  into  balls  and  fry  in 
butter  or  lard. 

EGG  BALLS. 

Boil  four  eggs  ten  minutes;  drop  into  cold  water,  and  when  cool 
remove  the  shells.  Pound  the  eggs  in  a  mortar  until  reduced  to  a  paste, 
and  then  beat  them  with  a  teaspoon  of  salt  and  pepper  to  taste,  and  the 
white  of  one  raw  egg.    Form  in  balls  and  fry  in  butter. 

BATTERED  CLAMS.

HOW  TO  MAKE  ANY  STEAK  TENDER. 

Take  any  kind  of  steak,  pound  it  thoroughly  with  a  potato  masher, 
then  salt  and  penper  well,  sift  lishtly  on  both  sides  with  flour  and  fry 
in  hot  butter.  The  flour  helps  retain  the  juice  and  you  have  steak  equal 
to  the  best  rump  cut. 

MEAT  GEMS. 

For  one  cupful  of  cold  chopned  meat  make  a  sauce  of  two  table- 
snoon^  of  buttpr.  two  of  good  onalitv  Corn  Starch  and  a  cupful 
of  milk,  mix  this  with  the  meat:  add  two  yolks  well  beaten,  season  to

twenty  minutes  in  a  hot  buttered  gem  iron. 

CREAM  OR  WHITE  SAUCE  FOR  FISH. 

One  tablespoon  butter  and  one  cup  milk  or  cream.  Melt  the  butter 
and  blend  the  flour  into  it:  slowly  add  the  milk,  which  must  first  be 
heated.  Do  not  boil  as  that  destroys  the  flavor,  but  cook  thoroughly 
below  the  boiling  point.

SALADS  AND  SALAD  DRESSINGS. 


WHITE  CABBAGE  SALAD. 

Select  a  hard  white  head;  take  the  yolks  of  two  eggs,  well  beaten, 
three-fourths  cup  good  vinegar,  two  teaspoons  white  sugar,  a  little 
mustard  mixed  in  boiling  water,  salt,  a  pinch  of  red  pepper  and  four

chopped  cabbage  and  mix  well. 

POTATO  SALAD. 

Fcur  large  potatoes,  one-half  small  onion,  a  little  celery  chopped 
fine.  Serve  with  dressing.  If  potatoes  have  been  boiled  in  their  jackets 
they  are  better. 

SALAD  DRESSING. 

Three  eggs,  one  tablespoon  sugar,  one  teaspoon  flour,  one  dessert- 
spoon mustard,  one  scant  cup  milk,  one  scant  cup  vinegar,  large  piece 
melted  butter,  salt  and  pepper;  stir  over  boiling  water  until  thick. 


BREADS. 


"The  very  staff  of  life; 
The  joy  of  the  husband,  the  pride  of  the  wife." 

WHITE  BREAD. 

Quick  Method.  Two  cakes  of  good  Yeast,  three  and  one-half 
quarts  flour  (sifted,  equals  three  lbs.),  one  quart  warm  water,  one  tea- 
spoon salt,  two  tablespoons  sugar,  one  tablespoon  lard  or  butter.  Dis- 
solve the  yeast  in  half  of  the  water,  and  in  the  other  half  dissolve  the 
salt  and  sugar.  Mix  thoroughly  the  water  containing  the  yeast,  salt 
and  sugar,  then  stir  in  gradually  three  quarts  of  the  flour.  Now  work 
in  the  lard  or  butter,  and  make  a  moderately  stiff  dough.  Knead  well 
for  ten  or  fifteen  minutes;  then  set  aside  in  a  warm  place,  free  from 
draft,  to  rise  until  light,  which  will  be  in  from  two  to  three  and  a  half 
hours.  Cover  with  cloth  or  paper  to  prevent  crust  forming  on  top. 
When  light,  make  into  loaves  with  the  hand,  place  in  well-greased  pans 
and  set  to  rise  again  for  forty-five  minutes.  When  light,  bake  in  a  hot 
oven  for  from  three-quarters  of  an  hour  to  an  hour.  The  extra  pint  of 
flour  will  be  needed  to  keep  kneading  board  well  floured  while  kneading 
and  forming  into  loaves.  This  makes  three  one  and  one-half  pound 
loaves.  The  whole  process  takes  about  four  hours.  Half  milk  may  be 
used  instead  of  all  water,  if  a  richer  loaf  is  desired. 

Another  Method.  Mix  as  above  only  using  one  yeast  cake,  and  all 
good  rich  milk  instead  of  water.  T  use  no  shortening.  In  all  cases  one 
should  have  about  three  times  as  much  flour  as  liquid.  Mix  as  above 
and  set  in  warm  place  to  rise  over  night;  in  the  morning  form  as  above 
and  bake.

Bloomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


GRAHAM  BREAD. 

One  cake  Fleischmann's  yeast,  one  pint  lukewarm  water,  one  cup 
lukewarm  milk,  one  and  a  half  quarts  graham  flour,  one  cup  sifted 
wheat  flour,  one  tablespoon  butter,  one  teaspoon  salt,  two  tablespoons 
molasses.  Dissolve  the  yeast*  in  the  lukewarm  water;  add  to  it  the 
milk,  salt,  molasses  and  butter;  sift  in  the  flours,  which  have  been  pre- 
viously mixed,  and  stir  very  thoroughly  with  a  spoon;  then  set  aside 
in  a  warm  place  to  rise.  When  well  risen,  which  will  be  in  about  two 
hours,  turn  out  on  a  well-floured  kneading  board  and  knead  thoroughly 
for  about  five  minutes;  divide  into  two  equal  portions,  put  in  well- 
greased  pans  and  allow  to  rise  again  for  an  hour.  When  light,  bake  in 
a  moderate  oven  for  from  three-quarters  of  an  hour  to  an  hour.  Have 
the  oven  a  little  cooler  than  for  white  bread.  The  entire  process  takes 
about  four  hours. 

CHILDREN'S  RISK. 

One  cake  yeast,  one  cup  lukewarm  milk;  three  and  one-half  cups 
sifted  flour,  one  egg,  one-fourth  cup  butter,  one-half  cup  light  brown 
sugar,  one-fourth  teaspoon  salt,  one-half  teaspoon  cinnamon,  one  cup 
currants.  ' 

Dissolve  yeast  in  the  milk  and  add  to  this  one  and  one-half  cups  of 
the  flour  to  make  sponge;  let  rise  for  one  hour  and  a  half.  Then  add 
the  butter,  sugar  and  salt,  thoroughly  mixed;  the  egg  well  beaten,  cur- 
rants floured,  cinnamon  and  enough  of  the  flour  to  make  a  soft  dough. 
Knead  thoroughly,  but  be  careful  to  keep  your  dough  soft.  Let  rise 
again  for  two  hours.  Then  form  into  small  round  biscuits  about  the 
size  of  a  small  egg  and  place  in  well-greased  deep  baking  pans,  brushing 
lightly  between  them  with  butter.  Let  rise  for  three-quarters  of  an 
hour  in  a  warm  place,  free  from  draft.  When  light,  bake  for  half  an 
hour  in  a  moderate  oven.  This  makes  two  and  a  half  dozen  very  fine 
rusks.    The  whole  process  takes  about  five  hours. 

HOW  TO  WARM  OVER  ROLLS,  BISCUITS,  ETC. 

Place  in  a  pan  and  sprinkle  lightly  with  cold  water,  cover  over  with 
another  pan  and  place  in  a  hot  oven  for  about  ten  minutes.  Rolls 
warmed  over  in  this  manner  are  just  as  nice  as  freshly  baked  rolls. 

TEA  ROLLS. 

One  cake  yeast,  one  cup  lukewarm  milk,  two  and  a  half  cups  sifted 
flour,  white  of  one  egg,  one  tablespoon  butter,  one  tablespoon  sugar, 
one-half  teaspoon  salt.  Dissolve  the  east  in  the  milk.  Add  to 
it  the  sugar,  salt,  butter  and  white  of  egg,  beaten;  then  add  the  flour 
gradually,  but  be  careful  not  to  get  dough  too  stiff;  knead  thoroughly 
and  set  aside  in  a  warm  place,  free  from  draft,  to  rise  for  one  hour  and 
three-quarters.  When  light,  form  with  the  hand  into  small  oblong 
rolls.  Place  in  greased  pans,  brushing  lightly  with  butter  between  each 
roll.  Cover  carefully  with  cloth  or  paper,  and  let  rise  for  about  half  an 
hour.  When  light,  bake  in  a  moderate  oven  for  twenty  minutes.  The 
whole  process  takes  about  two  hours  and  three-quarters.  Makes  two 
dozen  fine  tea  rolls.

GOOD  ENOUGH. 

When  I  have  a  piece  of  cake  left  over,  or  cookies,  I  make  a  pudding 
by  putting  a  layer  in  a  glass  dish  and  spread  over  the  top  a  sauce  pre- 
pared the  following  way:  Beat  the  yolk  of  one  egg  with  one-half  cup 
sugar  and  a  dessertspoon  of  cream  or  milk  and  one-fourth  cup  of  but- 
ter. Beat  the  sugar  and  butter  together  first,  then  the  cream,  then  the 
yolk  of  egg.  Put  in  two  layers  of  cake  and  spread  both  with  the  sauce, 
then  beat  the  white  stiff  wjth  a  little  jelly  and  spread  on  top  and  you 
will  have  a  pudding  good  enough  for  anyone. 

COTTAGE  PUDDING. 

One  cup  sugar,  one  egg,  one  cup  milk,  one  teaspoon  baking  soda, 
two  teaspoons  cream  tartar,  one-half  cup  butter,  two  cups  flour.  Bake 
and  eat  with  sauce. 

BERRY  ROLY-POLY. 

If  for  midday  dessert,  mix  dough  immediately  after  breakfast  and 
set  in  warm  place  to  rise.  Sift  two  coffee-cups  of  flour,  add  a  little 
salt,  and  two  teaspoons  butter.  Rub  in  thoroughly.  Dissolve  half  a 
Fleischmann's  yeast  cake  in  a  little  lukewarm  water  or  milk,  and  then 
mix  into  a  soft  dough  with  warm  milk.  When  this  is  light,  roll  into  a 
long  strip  and  spread  the  berries  thickly  over  it.  Sift  over  them  a 
little  flour.  Roll  carefully,  place  in  a  pudding  bag  or  steamer  and 
cook  three-quarters  of  an  hour.  Huckleberries,  blackberries,  and  rasp- 
berries can  be  used  for  this  dish;  also  sliced  ripe  peaches. 

DOUGHGODS. 

Two  eggs  well  beaten,  one  cup  of  rich  buttermilk,  one  teaspoon  soda, 
flour  to  mix.  Roll  out  and  cut  in  small  squares  and  fry  like  doughnuts. 
Very  nice  eaten  with  maple  syrup  or  Karo  Corn  Syrup,  or  a  syrup  made 
of  brown  sugar  and  water  boiled.  Sour  milk  may  be  used  if  a  little 
butter  is  added. 

POT  PIE. 

Make  a  dough  like  the  above,  rolling  out  and  cutting  into  cakes 
large  enough  to  nearly  cover  the  top  of  your  fry  kettle.  Cut  several 
slots  with  knife  so  the  air  can  go  through.  Fry  like  the  above.  When 
done  place  one  in  a  plate;  on  this  put  some  nice  preserves,  pears  or 
peaches  are  very  nice;  place  another  cake  on  this  with  more  sauce 
and  a  third  layer  is  desired,  placing  sauce  on  the  top.  Cut  down 
through  like  a  pie  and  serve  hot.  Freshly  made  apple  sauce  with  a 
sprinkle  of  nutmeg  is  very  nice  served  in  this  way. 

A  NICE  WAY  TO  SERYE  STRAWBERRIES. 

Two  quarts  of  fresh  strawberries  prepared  as  for  the  table,  one  pound 
of  marshmallows  cut  in  quarters  with  your  pantry  shears;  mix  the

158 


Bloomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


ORANGE  SHERBET. 

One  tablespoon  gelatine,  one  cup  cold  water,  one-half  cup  boiling 
water,  one  cup  sugar,  one  cup  cold  water,  one  pint  juice. 

PEACH  CUSTARD. 

Make  an  ordinary  custard,  three  eggs  to  one  pint  of  cream,  if  very 
good  results  are  desired;  set  aside  until  cold,  then  stir  in  one  pint  rich 
cream  and  three  cups  peaches  cut  in  very  small  pieces  and  sprinkled 
with  powdered  sugar.    Stir  into  the  custard  and  freeze. 

STRAWBERRY  SHERBET. 

One  quart  of  berries  mashed,  sprinkle  over  these  one  pint  of  sugar, 
add  the  juice  of  one  lemon  and  one-half  pint  of  water  in  which  has  been 
dissolved  a  tablespoon  of  gelatine;  freeze  as  you  would  ice  cream. 


APRICOT  CREAM. 

Use  a  pint  of  the  apricot,  stewed  and  strained,  as  a  foundation.  Make 
a  syrup  of  a  pint  each  of  water  and  sugar  boiled  together  until  clear. 
Add  the  yolks  of  three  eggs,  well  beaten,  and  cook  five  minutes.  Re- 
move from  the  fire  and  set  in  a  pan  of  cold  water,  stirring  until  it  cools. 
Add  a  quart  of  rich  cream,  beat  in  well.  Flavor  and  sweeten  more  if 
necessary,  then  freeze. 

GRAPE  SHERBET. 

One  cup  of  grape  juice,  juice  of  one  lemon,  juice  of  one  orange,  one 
cup  of  sugar,  one  pint  of  water,  one  dessertspoon  of  gelatine;  moisten 
the  gelatine  in  a  portion  of  the  water;  heat  the  remainder  to  boiling.

usual  way. 

STRAWBERRY  ICE  CREAM. 

Sprinkle  two  cups  of  sugar  over  two  quarts  of  strawberries.  Mash 
them  and  let  stand  half  an  hour,  or  until  the  sugar  is  dissolved.  Strain 
through  a  cheese  cloth,  squeezing  as  long  as  any  juice  or  pulp  will 
come.  Allow  one  pint,  or  a  little  more  if  desired,  of  this  juice  to  one 
quart  of  cream;  sweeten  to  taste.  If  preserved  berries  are  used,  the 
juice  of  one  lemon  will  be  an  improvement,  as  the  berries  are  usually 
too  sweet.  The  cream  should  be  scalded,  and  when  cold  mixed  with  the 
juice.    Freeze  as  usual. 


BANANA  ICE  CREAM. 

Peel  six  ripe  bananas,  split  and  remove  the  seeds  and  dark  portion 
in  the  center.  Rub  the  pulp  through  a  strainer.  Add  to  it  the  juice 
of  one  lemon,  a  saltspoon  of  salt,  and  sugar  to  make  it  quite  sweet. 
Add  this  pulp  to  plain  ice  cream,  and  freeze  as  usual.

CANDIES. 


TO  BOIL  SUGAR  FOR  CLEAR  CANDY. 

Put  one  pound  of  best  quality  granulated  sugar  in  a  saucepan  with 
half  a  pint  of  water;  stir  well  before  they  boil,  so  that  the  sugar  may 
net  sink  and  burn;  when  dissolved  stir  no  more;  when  the  sugar  boils 
and  tine  bubbles  appear,  begin  to  try  it  in  cold  water;  drop  a  little  from 
the  end  of  a  fork  into  the  water,  if  it  snaps  like  glass  between  the 
teeth,  it  has  reached  what  is  commonly  called  the  "crack,"  and  is 
ready  to  make  many  kinds  of  candy.  If  the  boiling  is  continued  longer, 
it  will  reach  the  point  called  caramel,  when  it  takes  a  yellow  color,  and 
must  be  at  once  drawn  from  the  fire.  Caramel  is  a  useful  degree;  the 
next  one,  however,  means  burning,  and  a  very  few  seconds  are  enough 
to  do  it. 

FRUIT  C  ANDIES. 

These  are  far  better  when  made  of  pure  fruit  juice  than  when  only 
flavored  with  extracts.  Boil  a  pound  of  sugar  to  the  crack,  add  two 
tablespoons  of  fruit  juice,  such  a  cherry,  raspberry  or  currant,  then 
boil  till  a  bead  dropped  on  a  greased  tin  hardens.  Drop  the  hot 
candy  in  buttons  on  the  tins,  and  when  cold  put  them  in  air-tight  boxes. 

MOLASSES  TAFFY. 

Put  a  quart  of  molasses  in  an  iron  saucepan,  set.  it  over  a  slow  fire 
and  boil  for  about  half  an  hour,  watching  and  stirring  to  prevent  it 
boiling  over.  Remove  a  moment  from  the  fire,  if  it  boils  too  high. 
When  the  candy  begins  to  thicken,  add  half  a  teaspoon  of  dry  and  sifted 
baking  soda.  Try  in  ice  water,  and  when  brittle  pour  it  out  an  inch 
deep  on  greased  pans. 

CRYSTALLIZED  ORANGE  PEEL. 

After  cutting  peel  into  strips,  cover  with  cold  water  and  let  stand 
three  days,  changing  water  each  day.  On  the  fourth  day  drain  and 
measure;  take  equal  amounts,  by  bulk,  of  sugar  and  peel;  add  a  little 
water  to  sugar  to  make  a  syrup,  add  peel  and,  after  bringing  to  a  quick 
bcil,  push  back  on  stove  and  cook  slowly  till  the  syrup  has  nearly  boiled 
away,  stirring  occasionally  lest  it  burn.  Take  out  pieces  separately  and 
roll  in  sugar.  The  next  morning  these  may  be  stored  in  glass  jars,  and 
will  thus  keep  indefinitely. 

FUDGE. 

Two  cups  brown  sugar,  one  cup  granulated  sugar,  three  squares 
chocolate  and  one  cup  milk.  Cook,  stirring  as  little  as  possible,  until 
it  will  form  a  soft  ball  when  dropped  in  cold  water.  Take  from  fire  and 
add  a  large  lump  of  butter  and  two  teaspoons  vanilla  extract.  Beat 
until  thick  and  creamy.  One  cup  of  broken  walnut  or  butternut  meats 
improves  it.  Omitting  the  chocolate  and  adding  nuts  makes  delicious 
penochie.

Bloomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


MOLASSES  CANDY. 

One  cup  molasses,  one  cup  sugar,  butter  the  size  of  an  egg,  one  table- 
spoon of  vinegar;  boil  until  it  hardens  in  cold  water,  add  a  pinch  of 
Dwigbt's  soda  when  almost  done;  cool  and  pull,  cut  into  flat  sticks. 

CRACKER  JACK. 

Utility  poppers  should  be  used  in  making  this.  Take  three-quarters 
teacup  shelled  popcorn,  the  same  of  brown  sugar,  butter  as  large  as  a 
walnut,  salt  to  taste.  Use  a  hot  fire.  Shake  extra  hard  so  that  the 
corn  bumps  at  each  end  to  keep  from  burning. 

BUTTER  SCOTCH. 

One  cup  molasses,  one  cup  sugar,  and  one-half  cup.  butter.  Boil  until 
it  hardens  in  water. 

HOT  BUTTERED  CORN.

while  the  nicely  popped  corn  is  yet*warm  mix  the  melted  butter  through 
it  by  stirring,  then  strew  fine  salt  through  the  corn  and  serve  hot. 

TWO-FOUR-SIX  TAFFY. 

Two  spoons  butter,  four  spoons  sugar,  six  spoons  molasses.  Boil 
until  it  will  harden  in  water;  stir  constantly. 

KISSES. 

Whites  of  two  eggs  beaten  to  a  stiff  froth,  one  cup  sugar  added  gradu- 
ally, one  teaspoon  vanilla.  Drop  in  very  small  spoonfuls  on  uncreased 
paper  placed  in  pans.    Bake  twenty  minutes  in  moderate  oven. 

MAPLE  CREAM  CANDY. 

Three  cups  of  grated  maple  sugar,  one  cup  of  thick  sweet  cream,  boil 
until  it  hardens  when  dropped  in  cold  water.  Remove  from  the  fire 
and  beat  with  a  silver  fork  until  it  has  the  consistency  of  very  thick 
cream.  Pour  in  buttered  tins,  and  when  cool  cut  into  squares.  This 
is  delicious. 

PEANUT  TAFFY. 

Two  cups  sugar,  one-half  cup  butter,  one-half  cup  vinegar,  three 
tablespoons  molasses,  one  quart  peanuts,  put  the  butter  in  just  before 
taking  from  the  fire.    Cook  until  brittle  when  tried  in  water. 


FOR  THE  INVALID'S  TRAY. 


EGG  NOGG. 

Beat  the  white  of  one  egg  with  a  speck  of  salt  until  quite  stiff,  then 
add  yolk  and  one  tablespoon  of  Karo  Corn  Syrup  and  ^continue  beating. 
Mix  this  thoroughly  with  a  scant  cup  of  rice  milk,  flavor  with  a  table- 
spoon of  sherry  or  brandy,  as  preferred,  and  serve  very  cold.  Where 
spices  are  allowable  a  dusting  over  the  top  of  nutmeg  is  usually  liked.

TO  MAKE  GHUEL. 

Pour  one  quart  hot  water  into  a  clean  earthen  or  tin  vessel  over  a 
brisk  tire;  when  it  boils  add  two  large  tablespoons  of  cornmeal  or  han 
cornmeal  and  half  hour;  mix  it  smoothly  in  just  water  enough  to 
thicken  it;  put  a  small  lump  of  butter  into  the  boiling  water  and  when 
melted  add  the  meal  and  stir  for  about  one-half  hour;  then  add  a  tea- 
cup of  sweet  milK,  and  when  it  boils  again  add  a  little  salt  and  serve, 
adding  cold  milk  if  desired. 

WAFER  BISCUITS. 

Rub  a  teaspoon  of  butter  into  a  pint  of  sifted  flour;  add  a  little  salt, 
and  with  the  white  of  an  egg  and  a  little  warm  milk,  mix  into  a  stili 
smooth  paste.  Beat  with  a  rolling  pin  for  one-half  hour,  the  longer 
the  better;  form  into  little  round  balls  (size  of  a  pigeon's  egg)  and  roll 
till  the  size  of  a  saucer.  Sprinkle  on  the  pans  a  little  flour,  and  baKe 
with  care.  These  may  be  made  of  oatmeal,  or  different  grains,  cut  in 
any  pretty  shape  and  serve  with  tea  or  any  nourishing  liquid. 

TOAST. 

Cut  thin  slices  of  bread  into  strips,  toast  carefully  and  evenly  with- 
out breaking  and  serve  immediately  on  a  hot  plate,  slightly  buttered, 
if  admissible.  This  may  also  be  served  with  the  juice  from  roast  beef 
or  mutton  poured  over. 

RICE. 

Fresh  boiled  rice,  wet  with  the  juice  of  roast  or  mutton,  and  served 
on  a  piece  of  toast,  is  nice. 

LONG  MADE  BEEF  TEA. 

Get  tw^o  or  three  pounds  of  shin  of  beef;  remove  all  the  skin  and  the 
marrow  from  the  bone;  cut  the  meat  into  small  pieces  and  have  the 
bone  broken  up.  Take  also  a  knuckle  of  veal — that  is,  just  the  knuckle- 
bone; have  it  broken  up,  and  put  all  into  a  strong  earthen  jar.  Place 
the  jar  in  a  large  saucepan  of  boiling  water,  and  tie  the  cover  down  with 
a  piece  of  stout  brown  paper,  using  neither  salt  nor  pepper.  Let  it  boil 
slowly  all  day.  When  done,  the  jar  will  be  filled  with  meat  gravy; 
strain  this,  and  when  cold  it  will  be  a  strong  jelly.  In  summer  this 
may  be  served  cold,  and  in  winter  pour  hot  water  over  a  portion,  and 
you  have  beef  tea.  This  will  keep  a  wreek  in  summer,  in  a  cool  place, 
and  much  longer  in  winter. 

CHICKEN  TEA. 

Cut  in  small  pieces  a  chicken  from  which  the  skin  and  fat  have  been 
removed.  Boil  the  pieces  in  one  quart  of  water,  with  a  little  salt,  for 
twenty  minutes.  The  tea  should  be  poured  from  the  chicken  before  the 
meat  is  quite  cold. 

MUTTON  BROTH. 

Put  about  four  pounds  of  mutton  (not  lamb),  neck  piece  preferred, 
in  cold  water  enough  to  cover.  Simmer,  not  boil,  nearly  all  day,  or 
until  the  meat  is  in  shreds.  Strain  through  a  colander;  place  liquor 
in  ice  box  over  night.  Next  morning  remove  the  grease  which  has 
risen,  being  careful  not  to  let  any  particles  remain  on  the  jelly.  Keep 
jelly  on  ice,  and  when  required  for  use,  take  one  tablespoon  to  one-half 
cup  of  boiling  water.    Salt  to  taste,  before  serving.    Very  nice.

orange  or  lemon  peel. 

JELLY  WATER. 

A  teaspoon,  or  more,  of  any  tart  jelly,  as  currant  or  plum,  mixed  in

first  be  dissolved  in  boiling  water. 

LIME  WATER. 

Pour  two  quarts  of  hot  water  over  fresh  unslacked  lime  ( size  of  a 
walnut),  stir  till  slacked,  let  standstill  clear  and  bottle.  Often  ordered

apples,  without  removing  the  peel.  Cut  a  lemon  into  slices,  leaving 
on  the  peel,  and  sprinkle  over  the  whole  six  ounces  of  sugar.  Place 
the  fruit  in  a  jar,  and  over  it  pour  two  quarts  of  boiling  water;  cover

CANNED  GOODS,  PRESERVES  AND  PICKLES. 


TO  PRESERVE  A  HUSBAND. 

"Be  careful  in  your  selection.  Do  not  choose  one  too  young  or  too 
old,  and  take  only  such  varieties  as  has  been  raised  on  a  good  moral 
atmosphere.  When  once  decided  upon  and  selected,  let  that  part  re- 
main forever  settled,  and  give  your  entire  time  and  thought  to  domes- 
tic use.  Some  insist  on  keeping  them  in  a  pickle,  while  others  are 
constantly  keeping  them  in  hot  water.  But  even  poor  varieties  may 
be  made  sweet,  tender  and  good  by  garnishing  with  patience,  well 
sweetened  with  smiles  and  flavored  Avith  kisses  to  taste.  Then  wrap 
them  well  in  the  mantle  of  charity,  keep  warm  with  a  steady  flow  of 
domestic  devotion  and  serve  with  peaches  and  cream.  When  thus  pre- 
pared will  keep  for  years." 

SALTED  CORN. 

Have  your  corn  freshly  gathered  and  just  right  for  eating.  Clean 
and  scald  your  boiler  thoroughly  and  fill  with  the  corn  husked  and 
silked,  discarding  all  ears  either  over  or  under  ripe;  cook  as  for  the 
table.  Remove  from  boiler,  score  each  row  of  kernels  with  sharp 
knife  and  shave  off  not  too  close  to  the  cob.  After  cutting  from  cob, 
measure  and  to  each  eight  pints  of  corn  add  one  pint  of  salt  and  mix 
thoroughly  with  the  hands  until  a  brine  is  formed,  then  pack  in  a 
well-scalded  crock.  When  jar  is  filled  within  two  inches  of  top,  cover 
with  white  cloth  large  enough  to  hang  over  edge  of  jar;  on  this  cloth 
put  an  inch  of  salt  and  on  the  salt  a  plate  that  fits  inside  the  jar.  Tt 
is  now  ready  to  put  in  thp  cellar  for  winter  use.  The  secret  of  its 
success  lies  in  the  way  it  is  prepared  for  the  table.  About  one  and  a 
half  hours  before  it  is  to  be  served  take  out  enough  for  the  meal,  cover 
with  cold  water  which  is  to  be  poured  off  at  once.  Then  enough  boil- 
ing water  to  cover  is  poured  on  and  it  stands  on  the  back  of  the  ranee 
for  fifteen  minutes.  This  water  is  drained  off  and  fresh  boiling  water 
poured  on  and  the  same  time  allowed.  This  process  is  repeated  twice 
more,  in  all  four  times.  Then  drain  thoroughly  and  season  with  cream 
or  butter,  a  little  sugar  and  pepper,  just  as  you  would  canned  corn. 

PRE  SERVED  CHERRIES. 

Select  the  large  cherries,  remove  the  stems.  To  each  pound  of  suear 
allow  one  pound  of  cherries.  Put  fruit  in  pan  and  pour  over  them  the 
sugar.  Stir  up  and  let  stand  over  night.  In  the  morning  put  all  into 
the  preserving  kettle,  place  on  the  stove  and  boil  gently  until  cherries 
have  become  clear.  Remove  from  fire  and  seal.  Keep  in  a  dark  closet. 
Never  put  fruit  into  tin  as  it  will  turn  it. 

CHTLLT  SAUCE. 

Three  teacups  of  vinegar,  twelve  tomatoes  chopned,  three  nenpers 
chopped  fine,  two  lars:e  onions  chonned  fine,  two  teaspoons  of  salt,  two 
teaspoons  sugar,  and  one  teaspoon  cinnamon;  simmer  on  back  of  the 
stove  two  hours.    Very  nice.

SWEET  PICKLE  FOR  BEETS. 

One-half  cup  vinegar,  one  cup  sugar,  one  and  one-half  cups  water;

PRESERVED  PINEAPPLE. 

Pare  the  pineapple  and  carefully  remove  all  eyes;  cut  in  thin  slices 
and  cut  in  tiny  cubes,  rejecting  the  hard  core.  To  one  quart  of  apple 
allow  one  quart  of  sugar,  put  into  a  kettle  in  layers,  stir  well  occa- 
sionally and  let  stand  all  night.  In  the  morning  bring  to  a  boil  and 
put  into  jars  at  once.    If  cooked  long  it  will  be  hard. 

PRESERVED  PINEAPPLE  AND  RHUBARB. 

Allow  three-fourths  pound  sugar  to  one  pound  rhubarb.  Cut  the 
rhubarb  up  at  night  and  put  sugar  on  it,  let  stand  over  night.  In  the

glasses.    This  will  keep  for  years. 

ORANGE  MARMALADE . 

Cleanse  carefully  with  brush,  weigh  and  run  through  chopper  six 
large  oranges,  rejecting  seed  if  any.  To  every  pound  of  fruit  add  three 
pints  of  cold  water.  Let  it  stand  over  night.  In  the  morning  boil  till 
tender  (about  one  and  one-half  hours)  ;  then  measure,  and  to  every 
pint  add  one  and  one-fourth  pounds  sugar  and  boil  till  it  jellies.  Just 
before  it  is  done  (about  15  or  20  minutes)  add  the  juice  of  three  large 
lemons.    Put  in  glasses.  Excellent. 

CANNED  PEACHES. 

Pare  the  peaches  and  if  large  cut  them  into  halves.  Put  two  quarts 
of  water  into  a  preserving  kettle,  add  one  and  one-half  pints  of  sugar 
and  a  small  handful  of  whole  cloves  tied  in  a  muslin  bag,  and  let  boil 
10  minutes;  then  put  the  peaches  into  the  syrup  and  let  them  cook

CANNED  CRANBERRIES. 

To  keep  cranberries,  they  may  be  dried  or  bottled  by  filling  the 
bottle  with  cold  water,  then  cork  and  put  in  a  cool,  dry  place. 

TO  KEEP  JELLIES  FROM  BURNING. 

Place  a  good  sized  marble  in  the  kettle  with  your  juice  and  you  will 
have  no  trouble.  As  it  boils  the  marble  will  move  about  and  keep  it 
thoroughly  stirred. 

WINTER  CHILLI  SAUCE. 

One  can  of  tomatoes,  two  large  onions,  one  tablespoon  ol  salt,  one 
teaspoon  of  pepper  or  a  pinch  of  cayenne,  one  cup  of  sugar,  one-half  of

slowly  about  two  hours.    Bottle  for  use. 

TOMATO  PICKLES. 

Slice  one  gallon  green  tomatoes,  using  a  handful  of  salt  to  each  layer 
of  tomatoes;  let  them  stand  12  hours,  then  drain.  Slice  some  onions 
and  twro  green  peppers;  take  two  quarts  vinegar,  one  pint  molasses  and 
two  tablespoons  of  whole  mustard,  one  of  cloves  and  one  of  allspice;

Let  it  boil  for  ten  minutes  or  until  cooked  as  desired. 

GRAPE  CATSUP. 
Boil  the  grapes,  skins  and  all,  until  soft.  Weigh  out  six  pounds  of 
sugar  to  every  nine  pounds  of  grapes.  Strain  the  fruit,  add  the  sugar 
and  boil  slowly  until  quite  thick.  Then  add  one  tablespoon  of  allspice 
and  one  of  black  pepper.  Lastly  add  three  pints  of  vinegar;  if  too  thin 
boil  slowly  until  of  the  required  thickness.  Bottle. 

SPICED  GRAPES. 

Remove  the  stems  and  wash.  To  every  four  pounds  of  fruit  add 
three  of  sugar,  one  tablespoon  each  of  ground  cloves,  mace  and  nutmeg: 
one  teaspoon  of  salt,  one  of  red  pepper  and  one-half  pint  of  vinegar.

mouthed  jars  and  cover  with  paper. 

MUSTARD  PICKLES. 

Two  quarts  of  green  cucumbers,  two  of  green  tomatoes,  one  of  onions

Sprinkle  a  small  cup  of  salt  over  them  and  let  stand  over  night.  Pour

167 


Bloomtngdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


MUSTARD  PICKLES. 

One  quart  cucumbers  (cut),  one  quart  green  tomatoes  (cut),  one 
quart  onions  (cut),  six  green  peppers  (I  use  none),  two  heads  cauli- 
ftower,  two  heads  celery.  When  all  are  cut  in  small  pieces  cover  v.  ith 
one  cup  of  salt  and  let  stand  over  night;  drain  off  the  water  and  cover 
with  fresh  boiling  water  and  scald  ten  minutes  (I  cook  mine  longer  or 
until  tender).    Drain  through  a  colander. 

SWEET  PICKLES. 

Peel  fresh,  ripe  cucumbers  and  soak  in  salt  and  water  for  two  days. 
Take  them  out  of  the  brine,  pour  over  them  boiling  water  and  let  stand 
over  night.  Drain  and  they  are  ready  for  the  pickle,  which  is  prepared 
thus:  For  each  quart  of  vinegar,  take  one  pint  of  hot  water,  two  large 
cups  of  sugar,  and  one  tablespoon  each  of  cinnamon,  cloves,  allspice, 
black  pepper,  mace  or  nutmeg.  Add  a  handful  of  raisins  or  ripe  grapes. 
Scald  all  together.  I  put  the  spice  in  a  muslin  bag,  making  one  for 
each  quart  of  vinegar  used.  Use  as  little  of  the  vinegar  as  possible  to 
boil  the  cucumbers  in  and  pour  the  rest  over  them  when  done.  Cook 
them  until  they  are  clear. 

CANNED  CORN. 

Gather  the  corn  as  you  would  for  the  table.  Cut  from  the  cob  and 
press  into  glass  jars  until  the  milk  starts  enough  to  cover  the  corn. 
Seal  the  jars  almost  tight  and  place  them  in  a  boiler  of  cold  water 
with  some  of  the  husks  between  the  jars  to  keep  them  from  breaking. 
I  place  the  jars  on  pieces  of  shingles.  Put  boiler  on  fire  and  when  it 
boils  cook  briskly  for  two  hours,  remove  from  the  hot  water  and  at 
once  finish  sealing  the  cans.    This  is  much  better  than  the  store  kind. 

CANNED  PEAS. 

Pick  fresh  from  the  garden,  being  sure  they  are  not  too  hard;  pre- 
pare as  for  the  table  and  fill  glass  jars.  Put  in  fresh  cold  water  until 
jars  overflow;  seal  nearly  tight  and  place  in  boiler  of  cold  water  as  you 
do  the  corn;  when  water  boils  cook  for  three  hours,  keeping  water  at 
the  boiling  point. 

CANNED  SHELLED  BEANS. 

Prepare  as  for  the  table  and  fix  the  same  as  you  do  the  peas  and 
cook  for  five  hours  after  water  boils. 

CANNED  STRING  BEANS. 

Prepare  as  for  the  table,  having  them  cut  in  rather  small  pieces,  as 
you  can  get  more  into  the  jars;  fix  these  like  the  peas  and  shelled  beans 
and  cook  for  five  hours.  All  should  be  removed,  one  jar  at  a  time, 
from  the  boiler  and  immediately  finish  sealing.  All  the  above  canned 
goods  are  good  as  they  have  been  tested. 

CURRANT  AND  ORANGE  PRESERVE. 

One  pound  of  currants,  two  small  oranges,  three-quarters  pound 
sugar,  one  cup  water.  Grate  the  rind  of  the  orange,  and  add  it  to  the 
currants,  sugar  and  water.  Cut  the  oranges  into  very  small  pieces  and 
add.    Cook  until  thick.    Put  into  glasses  and  seal.

pound  salt.  Stir  several  times  a  day  for  two  days.  1 */4  oz.  soda, 
1%  oz.  cream  of  tartar,  1%  oz.  borax,  1*4  oz.  saltpetre,  V4  oz.  alum. 
The  above  all  pulverized  and  mixed;  get  it  from  the  druggist.  Dissolve 
in  one  quart  boiling  water,  then  add  to  the  other  five  gallons.  The 
above  quantity  will  pickle  2  5  or  30  doz.  eggs.  The  pickle  should  stand 
two  or  three  inches  above  the  eggs. 

BAKING  POWDER. 

One-half  pound  cream  tartar,  one-fourth  pound  best  baking  soda, 
one-fourth  pound  cornstarch.  Mix  and  sift  through  flour  sifter  three

FRENCH  MUSTARD. 

Put  into  a  large  bowl  four  ounces  good  mustard,  one  ounce  of  pow- 
dered sugar,  one  teaspoon  salt.  Rub  well  together;  boil  one  pint  of 
good  vinegar,  pour  about  half  the  boiling  vinegar  upon  ingredients  in 
the  bowl;  stir  quickly  and  thoroughly,  till  lumps  are  all  rubbed  out, 
then  add  enough  more  boiling  vinegar  to  reduce  to  a  smooth  paste 
just  thick  enough  to  run  slowly  off  the  spoon.  Put  this  into  a  corked 
bottle  or  jar  and  keep  in  a  cool  place.  Let  it  stand  24  hours  before 
using. 

SOAP. 

Have  a  small,  wide-mouthed  jar  in  the  bathroom  to  hold  the  odds 
and  ends  of  soap,  and  when  three-fourths  full,  fill  the  jar  with  boiling 
water,  add  the  juice  of  a  lemon  and  a  teaspoon  of  pure  glycerine,  and 
you  will  have  a  pleasant  "jelly"  with  which  to  whiten  and  soften  the 
hands. 

A  CURE  FOR  WARTS. 

Break  up  and  dissolve  a  piece  of  alum  size  of  a  robin's  egg  in  one- 
third  teacup  of  water.  Wet  the  warts  several  times  a  day  and  in  a 
week  or  two  they  will  be  gone. 

CREAM  TOAST. 

Toast  to  a  good  brown  one-half  dozen  or  more  slices  of  bread,  and 
dip  in  a  sauce  made  as  follows:  One  pint  of  cream  and  milk  mixed, 
a  lump  of  sugar  and  a  pinch  of  salt.  Put  into  a  pan  and  let  come  to 
a  boil,  but  not  boil.  Now  stir  in  a  little  flour,  first  stirring  it  to  a 
cream  with  a  little  cold  milk,  and  when  it  boils  drop  in  the  toast,  one 
piece  at  a  time.  Let  it  simmer  a  couple  of  minutes  and  it  is  ready 
to  serve.

COTTAGE  CHEESE. 

Take  a  pan  of  clabbered  milk  and  set  over  a  kettle  of  hot  water. 
Heat  it  very  slowly  so  that  the  whey  may  become  separated  from  the 
curd.  If  it  boils  the  curd  will  be  tough.  Strain  it  through  a  cloth  and 
press  out  the  whey.  Stir  in  a  little  melted  butter,  cream  and  salt  till 
it  is  moist  enough.  Work  it  well  with  a  spoon  till  it  is  smooth,  then 
make  it  into  little  pats  for  the  table;  should  be  eaten  fresh. 

EGG  SANDWICHES. 

Try  these  for  the  lunch  boxes.  Boil  as  many  eggs  as  desired  until 
the  yolks  are  mealy.  Chop  the  whites  fine,  add  yolks  rubbed  to  a 
paste.  Moisten  with  salad  dressing.  Spread  between  slices  of  white 
or  graham  bread. 

GERMAN  TOAST. 

Beat  up  as  many  es:gs  as  desired,  adding  the  same  amount  of  sweet 
milk  with  a  little  salt;  cut  as  many  slices  of  bread  as  you  wish;  dip 
each  slice  of  bread  in  the  egg  and  milk,  covering  both  sides  well,  then- 
fry  them  in  a  hot,  well-buttered  spider.    Serve  hot. 

TO  COOK  MACARONI. 

Cook  in  rapidly  boiling  water  with  a  little  salt  for  about  twenty 
minutes.  Keep  the  water  boiling  vigorously.  When  finished  pour  into 
colander  and  pour  cold  water  over  it,  to  thoroughly  separate  the  pieces 
from  each  other.    To  use,  re-heat. 

MACARONI  WITH  CHEESE. 

Boil  a  sufficient  quantity  as  directed  above.  Pour  over  it  melted 
butter,  and  a  dash  of  pepper,  and  serve  in  place  of  potatoes. 

MACARONI  WITH  CREAM  SAUCE. 

Blend  one  tablespoon  of  butter  with  one  tablespoon  of  flour,  and 
.  add  one  cup  of  milk.    Cook  until  thick,  season  with  salt  and  pepper. 
Pour  this  over  the  macaroni  which  has  previously  been  cooked  and 
drained.    Serve  with  or  without  cheese. 

TO  COOK  RICE. 

In  cooking  rice  do  not  put  it  into  a  double  boiler  and  cook  slowly 
into  a  pasty  mess,  but  after  cleansing  it  throw  it  into  rapidly  boiling 
salted  water  and  keep  it  boiling  furiously  for  thirty  minutes.  Drain 
into  a  colander  and  place  in  the  oven  for  a  few  minutes. 

MOCK  BAKED  APPLE. 

One  pint  of  stoned  and  chopped  prunes,  beaten  whites  of  three  eggs, 
one-half  cup  of  flour.  Bake  in  buttered  pudding  dish  25  minutes. 
Serve  with  sugar  ~and  cream. 

EGG  NOODLES. 

A  good  luncheon  dish  is  made  by  using  the  gravy  left  from  the 
dinner  roast  and  re-heat  without  boiling;  then  add  a  sufficient  quan- 
tity of  egg  noodles,  previously  cooked  in  boiling  water  with  salt  to 
taste.

SALTED  PEANUTS. 

To  one-half  pound  of  shelled  peanuts,  allow  two  tablespoons  of  olive 
oil.  Heat  the  oil  in  a  frying  pan,  put  in  the  peanuts;  gently  stir  until 
all  are  equally  browned.  Take  from  the  fire  and  place  upon  absorbent 
paper.  When  paper  has  absorbed  the  excess  of  oil,  sprinkle  them  with 
salt.    Cool  and  serve  cold. 

SOME  USES  OF  SALT. 

It  puts  out  fire  in  the  chimney.  Salt  in  whitewash  makes  it  stick. 
Salt  and  soda  are  excellent  for  bee  stings.  Salt  used  in  sweeping  car- 
pets keeps  out  moths.  Salt  thrown  on  a  coal  fire  which  is  low  will 
revive  it.  Salt  and  vinegar  will  remove  stains  from  discolored  teacups 
Salt  thrown  on  soot  which  has  fallen  on  the  carpet  will  prevent  stain. 
Salt  put  on  ink  when  freshly  spilled  on  a  carpet  will  help  in  removing 
the  spot.  Salt  in  the  oven  under  baking  tins  will  prevent  their  scorch- 
ing on  the  bottom. 

AN  OUNCE  OF  PREVENTION  IS  WORTH 
A  POUND  OF  CURE. 

To  prevent  mustard  plasters  from  blistering,  mix  with  the  white  of 
an  egg.  " 

To  prevent  finger  nails  from  cracking  and  splitting,  rub  with  cream 
of  vaseline  at  night;  it  will  soften  and  nourish  them. 

To  keep  the  hands  soft  and  in  good  condition,  rub  often  with  a 
wash  of  glycerine  and  lemon  juice;  two  parts  glycerine  to  one  of  lemon 
juice,  well  mixed. 

Fever  sores  may  be  checked  by  applying  a  drop  of  pure  turpentine 
to  them  when  they  are  first  noticed. 

A  little  borax  in  the  water  for  washing  the  hands  and  face  will  have 
a  very  pleasant  effect  on  the  skin. 

A  glass  of  milk  taken  as  hot  as  possible,  will  often  break  up  a  heavy 
cold. 

Stop  that  canker  by  using  a  little  powdered  borax. 

Have  a  high-chair  to  sit  in  while  peeling  fruit  and  vegetables  or 
doing  part  of  the  ironing;  it  will  prevent  many  a  backache. 

If  the  eyes  are  tired,  strained  or  inflamed,  bathe  them  frequently 
with  warm  water  to  which  has  been  added  a  little  powdered  borax. 

For  toilet  use  nothing  is  nicer  than  pure  white  castile  soap. 

If  one  is  apt  to  be  sleepless  through  too  great  activity  of  the  brain, 
practice  taking  a  walk  the  last  thing  before  retiring. 

Prevent  round  shoulders  by  sleeping  without  a  pillow. 

To  prevent  that  shiny  appearance  of  the  skin,  put  a  few  drops  of 
tincture  of  benzoin  into  the  water  in  which  to  bathe  the  face. 

Bathe  those  tired  feet  in  warm  salt  water  before  retiring. 

When  chilled  take  hot  peppermint;  it  will  often  prevent  taking  cold. 

When  riding  in  the  cold  place  a  piece  of  newspaper  across  the  chest 
and  another  across  the  shoulders  under  the  cloak;  it  is  a  great  pro- 
tection.

Bloom ingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


TO  CURE  CORNS. 

One-half  ounce  of  glycerine  and  six  drops  of  carbolic  acid.  Apply 
night  and  morning. 

A  NURSERY  HINT. 

If  a  child  should  swallow  any  dangerous  substance,  immediately  slip 
down  its  throat  the  white  of  an  egg,  which  will  form  a  curd  around 
it  and  prevent  serious  effects. 

To  purify  and  cool  a  room,  place  a  bowl  of  cold  water  in  it  and 
change  daily. 

A  vessel  of  cold  water  placed  near  the  head  of  a  restless  sleeper  will 
give  quiet  and  relief. 

To  stop  so-called  "heartburn"  drink  a  glass  of  cold  milk. 

TO  STOP  THAT  COUGH. 

One-half  pint  sweet  oil,  one-half  pound  rock  candy,  one-half  pint  best 
rum.  Mix  rock  candy  with  rum  until  dissolved,  then  add  sweet  oil. 
Shake  well  before  using.  Dose:  Dessertspoon  three  or  four  times  a 
day.    This  has  cured  the  most  stubborn  cough. 

HOME  USES  FOR  LEMONS. 

A  teaspoon  of  lemon  juice  in  a  small  cup  of  black  coffee  will  relieve 
bilious  headache.  Two  or  three  slices  of  lemon  in  a  cup  of  strong  tea 
will  cure  nervous  headache.  Lemon  juice  is  better  than  any  drug  or 
complexion  powder  for  giving  permanent  clearness  and  beauty  to  the 
skin.  Lemon  juice  (outward  application)  will  allay  the  irritation 
caused  by  the  bites  of  insects.  A  dash  of  lemon  in  plain  water  is  an 
excellent  tooth  wash.  It  not  only  removes  tartar,  but  sweetens  the 
breath.  The  juice  of  a  lemon  taken  in  hot  water  on  awakening  in  the 
morning  is  an  excellent  liver  corrective,  and  for  stout  women  is  better 
than  any  antifat  medicine  ever  invented. 


FROM  GARRET  TO  CELLAR. 

Do  not  leave  old  clothes  in  the  garret  as  a  nest  for  moths. 
Be  sure  to  leave  a  large  space  in  the  garret  for  the  children  to  play 
in  on  rainy  days. 

To  keep  your  wood  furniture  free  from  spots  rub  it  with  a  silk  cloth 
saturated  with  vaseline. 

Salt  and  lemon  juice  will  remove  iron  rust. 

To  brighten  your  tins — moisten  a  cloth,  dip  in  dry  soda,  and  rub. 

If  not  too  bad  ink  stains  may  be  removed  by  soaking  in  sour  milk. 

Grass  stains — saturate  the  spot  thoroughly  with  kerosene,  then  wash 
with  soap  and  water. 

Scorch  stains — wet  the  scorched  places,  rub  with  soap  and  bleach 
in  the  sun. 


172 


Bloomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


Varnish  and  paint. — On  coarse  goods  use  turpentine;  on  fine,  alco- 
hol. Sponge  with  chloroform  if  dark  ring  is  left  by  turpentine.  Do 
not  use  either  near  the  fire. 

The  best  way  to  whiten  clothes  that  have  become  yellow  by  laying, 
is  to  dip  them  in  cream-of-tartar  water.  Place  the  cream-of-tartar  in 
an  earthen  dish,  and  pour  boiling  water  over  it.  Dipping  the  clothes 
into  it  several  times,  not  letting  them  lay  in  it.  Rinse  in  two  or  three 
waters  and  hang  in  the  sun.  This  has  been  known  to  whiten  clothing 
that  was  very  yellow,  when  everything  else  had  failed. 

The  yellow  spots  left  by  machine  oil  on  white  goods  can  be  removed 
by  rubbing  them  with  a  cloth  dipped  in  ammonia,  then  washing  with 
soap  and  water. 

Kerosene  will  remove  the  gummy  substance  which  forms  on  sewing 
machines. 

Dishcloths  should  be  scalded  and  washed  daily. 

If  soot  is  dropped  on  a  carpet,  throw  down  an  equal  quantity  of 
salt  and  sweep  all  off  together. 

To  clean  hair-brushes. — Spirits  of  ammonia  is  the  best  thing  to  clean 
hair-brushes  with,  as  it  does  not  soften  the  bristles  like  soap  or  soda 

Knots  in  Cotton. — To  prevent  knots  in  cotton  while  sewing,  always 
thread  your  needle  before  cutting  the  length  of  cotton  from  the  reel. 
This  will  prevent  both  knots  and  twisting. 

A  Nursery  Hint. — If  a  child  should  swallow  any  dangerous  substance, 
immediately  slip  down  its  throat  the  white  of  an  egg,  which  will  form 
a  curd  around  it,  and  thus  prevent  serious  effects. 

To  Remove  Coffee  Stains. — Coffee  stains,  even  when  there  is  cream 
in  the  coffee,  can  be  removed  from  the  most  delicate  silk  or  woolen 
fabrics  by  brushing  the  spots  with  pure  glycerine.  Rinse  in  lukewarm 
water  and  press  on  the  wrong  side  with  a  warm  iron.  The  glycerine 
absorbs  both  the  coloring  matter  and  the  grease. 

To  Renew  Cane  Chairs. — If  the  seats  have  become  limp  and  stretched 
so  that  they  sink  in  the  center,  they  may  be  made  as  good  as  new,  if 
none  of  the  strips  of  cane  are  broken,  by  well  washing  them  in  hot 
water  and  then  placing  them  in  a  current  of  air  to  dry.  This  causes  the 
cane  to  tighten  up,  and  when  dry,  the  seats  will  be  quite  as  flat  as 
when  first  woven. 

The  resistance  of  glass  jars  that  refuse  to  open  can  be  overcome  by 
setting  them  top  downward  in  an  inch  or  two  of  hot  water. 

If  your  china  is  discolored  try  rubbing  it  with  damp  salt. 

To  test  nutmegs  prick  them  with  a  pin,  and  if  they  are  good  the  oil 
will  instantly  spread  around  the  puncture. 

A  Damp  Cupboard. — Fill  a  box  with  lime  and  place  it  in  the  cup- 
board; this  absorbs  the  dampness. 

Black  grease  stains  may  be  removed  from  clothing  by  washing  with 
soap  and  cold  water.    Hot  water  only  sets  the  marks.

Bloomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


When  ironing,  stand  on  a  soft,  thick  rug,  and  you  will  notice  that 
your  feet  do  not  become  so  tired. 

Sprinkle  borax  in  places  infested  with  insects,  and  they  will  speedily 
disappear.    This  is  an  inexpensive  remedy. 

Never  pin  delicate  materials  on  to  the  clothes  line  without  placing  a 
piece  of  clean  paper  between  the  fabric  and  the  clothes  pin. 

Camphor  gum  kept  in  the  same  case  or  drawer  with  silverware  will 
prevent  the  silver  tarnishing  so  quickly. 

A  lump  of  sugar  saturated  witli  lemon  juice,  and  eaten  slowly,  will 
cure  hiccough. 

Carry  a  lighted  match  with  the  lighted  end  from  you  to  keep  it  from 
going  out. 

Insects  in  the  Ear. — If  an  insect  of  any  description  gets  into  the  ear, 
fill  it  with  a  teaspoon  of  either  warm  water  or  sweet  oil.  This  will 
have  a  tendency  to  float  the  foreign  substance  out  of  the  ear. 

Linen  after  being  ironed  should  be  placed  near  the  stove  or  in  the 
sun  until  perfectly  dry,  as  the  garments  will  be  much  stiffer  than  if 
left  to  dry  slowly. 

Brooms  dipped  for  a  minute  or  two  in  boiling  suds  once  a  week  will 
wear  much  longer.    It  makes  them  tough  and  pliable. 

Never  use  boiling  water  or  soda  in  recipes  for  baking. 

For  nose  bleeding,  bathe  the  face  and  neck  with  cold  water. 

When  boiling  your  clothes  put  a  tablespoon  of  turpentine  in  them; 
it  will  greatly  aid  the  whitening  process. 

A  pitcher  of  cold  water  on  a  table  in  your  room  does  much  to  purify 
the  air. 

A  spoonful  of  horseradish  in  a  panful  of  milk  will  keep  it  sweet  for 
several  days. 

It  is  very  essential  that  cut  flowers  be  kept  in  a  cool  place. 
Disinfectant. — Put  some  freshly  ground  coffee  on  a  shovel  of  live 
coals. 

Never  hang  a  mirror  in  the  sunshine,  for  the  sun's  rays  act  on  the 
mercury. 

Soap  and  chalk  mixed  and  rubbed  on  spots  of  mildew  will  remove 
them. 

Holes  in  a  wall,  made  by  tacks  and  nails,  may  be  filled  with  a  paste 
of  plaster  of  paris  and  water. 

Here  is  something  worth  remembering.  If  your  food  does  not  bake 
as  much  on  the  bottom  as  on  the  top,  partly  close  the  front  draft  and 
have  the  chimney  draft  wide  open;  if  it  bakes  too  much  on  the  bottom 
and  not  enough  on  top,  reverse  it,  that  is,  open  the  front  draft  wide 
and  its  door  if  necessary,  and  shut  off  the  chimney  draft  part  way. 

Mustard  water  is  said  to  be  excellent  for  cleansing  the  hands  after 
handling  odorous  substances,  and  the  saying  is  true.

TjLoomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


When  ironing  handkerchiefs  the  center  should  always  be  ironed  first, 
[f  the  edges  are  ironed  first  this  causes  the  center  to  swell,  and  the 
handkerchief  will  not  be  smooth. 

For  obstinate  tea  stains  mix  together  equal  quantities  of  yolk  of  egg 
and  glycerine,  place  on  the  stains  and  allow  to  dry  before  washing. 

A  busy  woman  I  know  folds  her  towels  and  dish  towels  after  they 
are  dry  and  passes  them  through  the  clothes  ringer,  which  leaves  them 
smooth  enough  for  common  use  and  saves  her  many  minutes. 

Put  the  tarnished  silver  into  a  pan,  cover  it  with  thick  sour  milk 
and  let  it  stand  for  half  an  hour.  It  only  needs  washing  to  make  it  as 
bright  as  a  new  dollar.  Every  little  crevice  or  places  hard  to  get  at 
are  now  as  bright  as  the  rest,  and  it  does  not  wear  the  silver  as  much 
as  scouring. 

To  Exterminate  Ants. — Mix  tartar  emetic  with  a  little  sugar  and 
water,  and  place  it  where  they  can  easily  get  it  and  in  less  than  twenty- 
four  hours  you  will  wonder  what  has  become  of  the  troublesome  little 
insects. 

Many  a  woman  overlooks  one  place  of  vital  importance — the  cellar. 
A  dusty  cellar,  one  that  is  not  aired  daily  or  has  damp  walls  and 
defective  drains,  will  soon  mean  sickness.  The  cellar  should  be  as 
carefully  cleaned  as  the  drawing-room  or  kitchen.  Ashes  should  not  be 
permitted  to  accumulate,  and  decayed  vegetables  should  at  once  be 
thrown  out.  The  slightest  dampness  should  be  watched  and  the  cause 
ascertained.  Treat  your  cellar  walls  to  a  coat  of  whitewash  freouently. 
In  building  a  new  house,  sacrifice  fine  woodwork  and  other  ornamenta- 
tion to  a  well-built,  light,  airy,  cemented  cellar.

OUR  NATIONAL  AIR. 


The  following  extracts  from  the 
Army  Regulations  contain  some  in- 
formation which  should  be  widely 
known : 

Paragraph  264,  Extract  —  "The 
playing  of  'The  Star-Spangled  Ban- 
ner' as  a  part  of  a  medley  is  pro- 
hibited." 

Paragraph  375,  Extract  —  "The 
President  and  the  Vice-President 
will  be  received  with  regimental 
standards  or  colors  dropping,  offi- 
cers and  troops  saluting  and  the 
bands  playing  'The  Star-Spangled 
Banner.'  " 

Paragraph  378 — "Whenever  'The 
Star-Spangled  Banner'  is  played  at 
a  military  station,  or  at  any  place 
where  persons  belonging  to  the  mil- 
itary service  are  present  in  the  offi- 


cial capacity  or  present  unofficially, 
but  in  uniform,  all  officers  and  en- 
listed men  present  will  stand  at  at- 
tention, facing  toward  the  music, 
except  at  retreat,  when  they  will 
face  toward  the  flag,  as  prescribed 
in  Paragraph  437,  retaining  that  po- 
sition until  the  last  note  of  the  air 
and  then  salute.  With  no  arms  in 
hand  the  salute  will  be  the  hand 
salute.  The  same  respect  will  be 
observed  toward  the  national  air  of 
any  other  country,  when  it  is  play- 
ed as  a  compliment  to  official  rep- 
resentatives of  such  country.  When 
played  under  the  circumstances  con- 
templated by  this  paragraph,  'The 
Star-Spangled  Banner"  will  be  play- 
ed throughout  without  repetition  of 
any  part  that  is  not  required  to  be 
repeated  to  make  the  air  complete.''

METROPOLITAN  NEW  YORK. 

The  suburbs  of  great  American 
cities  are  growing  far  faster  than 
the  cities  themselves,  and  they  now 
contain  nearly  one-third  as  many 
people  as  the  central  communities 
around  which  they  cluster,  accord 
ing  tc  a  bulletin  of  the  Census  Bu- 
reau. 

The  population  of  New  York  City 
in  1914  according-  to  the  World  Al-

First  Panama 
Canal  Trip. 

The  first  passage  of  the  Panama 
Canal  by  an  ocean-going  ship  was 
marked  by  the  transit  of  the  "Alli- 
ance," a  vessel  belonging  to  the 
Panama  Railroad  Company,  on  June 
8,  1914.  This  ship  is  336  feet  long, 
42  feet  in  beam,  and  draws  about 
23.0  feet  of  water.  Her  tonnage  is 
3,905  tons;  and  when  she  passed 
through  the  canal  she  had  on  board 
1,800  tons  of  cargo.  The  ship  was 
sent  through  by  order  of  Col.  Goet- 
hals,  for  the  purpose  of  making  a 
test  with  a  ship  of  ocean-going  size. 

Here  is  the  full  log  of  the  "Alli- 
ance" covering  the  passage  from 
ocean  to  ocean.

Bloomingdales'  Year  Book  and  Diary  for  1915. 


Befriend  Yourself  With  Books 


WHEN  a  man  loves  books  he  has  in  him 
that  which  consoles  under  many  sor- 
rows and  strengthens  in  many  trials. 
Such  a  love  keeps  him  at  home  and  makes  his 
time  pass  pleasantly.  And  when  a  man  has  a 
book  by  his  own  fire-side  he  must  indeed  be  a 
churl  if  he  is  not  at  peace  with  the  world.

Hair  Goods  Department 


Women's  crowning  glory  is  given  great  attention 
at  Bloomingdales.  Our  Hair  Goods  Shop  on  the 
second  floor  balcony  always  has  a  complete  as- 
sortment of  human  hair  goods,  switches,  puffs, 
and  in  fact  all  that  is  fashionable.  We  call  special 
attention  to  our  hair  dressing  parlors,  where 
experts  are  in  constant  attendance. 

Shampooing  and  electrical  massage  at  reasonable 
prices.     Pay  us  a  visit;  it  will  pay  you. 


Flower  Department 


Bloomingdales'  Cut  Flower  market  and  green- 
houses on  the  roof  are  the  best  of  their  kind  in 
New  York  City. 

Our  Cut  Flower  Shop  is  always  ready  to  serve 
you  with  all  the  seasonable  fresh  cut  flowers  at 
prices  that  range  from  V3  to  V2  less  than  the 
exclusive  florist  would  ask  you  to  pay. 

Our  greenhouses  on  the  roof  are  housed  in  60,000 
square  feet  of  glass.  In  here  you  will  always  find 
a  complete  variety  of  household  and  decorative 
plants  at  material  savings.

W.  A.  Lanigan  Company  Friday,  June  5th,  1914. 

1  WEST  42nd  ST.,  NEW  YORK 

The  GERMAN  HEROLD,  22  and  24  North  William  Str.,  New  York 

Gentlemen :  — 

Our  pure  silk  shirts,  made  to  individual  measure  three  for 
$10. 50,  were  advertised  in  your  issues  of  April  19th  and  26th,  and 
we  are  pleased  to  advise  that  we  secured  a  substantial  volume  of 
business  as  a  result. 

Measuring  the  cost  of  space  we  might  add  that  we  received 
from  our  expenditure  with  you,  more  profitable  returns  than  from  any 
other  publication  in  which  we  advertised.    Very  truly  yours,

De  Rivas  &  Harris  Pianos  and  Player  Pianos 
are  sold  throughout  the  world. 


They  are  moderate  in  price,  but  are  far  superior  in  tone,  in  work- 
manship and  in  powers  of  endurance  to  many  for  which  a  much 
higher  price  is  paid.  They  contain  the  best  of  everything  that 
human  skill  and  money  can  produce  and  will  last  a  life  time. 
We  do  no  expensive  advertising,  and  our  tremendous  out-put 
enables  us  to  sell  a  better  instrument  for  less  money  than  many 
other  manufacturers  possibly  can.  It  will  pay  you  to  investigate

NEW  PARCELS  POST  LAW 
In  Effect  January  1,  1913. 


The  parcels  post  system  which  op- 
erates from  January  1,  1913,  requires 
special  stamps  for  all  parcels,  and  if 
ordinary  stamps  are  put  on  parcels 
of  any  fourth-class  matter,  which 
comprises  merchandise  of  all  sorts, 
they  will  be  simply  wasted.  The 
packages  will  be  treated  as  "held  for 
postage,"  which  means  that  the 
sender  will  be  notified. 

In  addition  to  the  special  parcels 
post  stamp,  each  package  must  have 
the  name  and  address  of  the  sender, 
legibly  written,  preferably  on  a  tag 
or  card.  Without  a  return  card  the 
package  will  not  be  accepted  for 
mailing. 

The  law  provides  that  no  package 
will  be  accepted  which  exceeds  sev- 
enty-two inches  in  length  and  girth 
combined,  so  that  if  a  package 
measures  more  than  six  feet  in 
length,  plus  the  length  of  a  string 
tied  around  its  middle,  an  express 
company  will  have  to  carry  it.  No 


package  weighing  over  eleven 
pounds  can  be  sent  by  parcels  post. 

All  packages  must  be  securely 
wrapped,  and  no  goods  will  be  ac- 
cepted for  mailing  that  are  likely  to 
injure  postal  employes  handling 
them,  or  the  mailbags  and  other 
equipment  required  in  the  delivery. 
No  goods  that  are  likely  to  be 
spoiled  within  the  time  reasonably 
required  to  deliver  them  will  be  ac- 
cepted. Only  such  food  supplies  as 
will  not  be  injured  by  changing  tem- 
peratures can  thus  be  accepted  for 
mailing. 

As  to  the  cost  of  sending  packages 
by  parcels  post,  no  definite  schedule 
can  be  laid  down.  Small  packages, 
weighing  not  more  than  four  ounces, 
can  be  sent  to  any  point  of  the 
United  States  and  its  possessions  at 
the  rate  of  1  cent  an  ounce  or  frac- 
tion thereof,  while  articles  weighing 
more  than  a  quarter  of  a  pound  must 
be  paid  for  at  the  pound  rate. 

The  rate  for  such  larger  packages 
will  vary  according  to  the  distance 
they  are  to  be  sent.  The  country 
will  be  divided  into  zones.
